rice preference brown or white

Try brown basmati, and toast it a bit in the pan before adding stock for flavor!

Neither! We sub quinoa for any meals that use rice.

We do variations of these recipes the most:

I LOVE white rice. I'm learning to kind of like brown but I am still a sucker for Japanese style white rice. I also like white jasmine/basmati which is the kind we mostly eat. I have also been subbing quinoa for rice a lot lately.

meh, if you don't mind eating bleached and enriched foods, then stick with your white rice, because yes - calorie-wise they're basically the same. however, as someone else mentioned, white rice won't fill you up as quickly as brown, so there's more of a tendency/risk to overeat.

And white rice has no taste. Wild rice blends give you a better nutrient profile and a better taste than even brown, though I do enjoy brown. I used to use primarily straight wild rice, but others found it too overpowering. Whenever I make 50/50 brown/wild or a wild blend, everyone loves it. I use it for Mexican Rice, curry, jambalaya, ettouffe, gumbo, stew etc. I have only gotten rave reviews frome people. Even when I was cooking on boats in the Gulf of Mexico.

Eat what you enjoy. In a decent diet where whole foods dominate it's really a moot point and if adherence is easier, your ahead of the game. Asians eat mostly white rice and don't have the same problem with weight control for this very reason, Americans on the other hand tend to overeat just about everything there is, especially those nice fatty, sugary carby things.

I like brown better myself. I feel like it has more flavor!

Brown rice fan over here! I was scared of it until I tried it but now it's all I buy. Good stuff!

I like brown rice, especially with a tbsp or two of peanut butter!

I like brown basmati rice...or regular brown rice

MightyDomo

I like white a lot more... probably because I grew up eating it but I also don't mind long grain wild rice, that stuff is pretty good.

I know the sodium is high but add some chicken bullion to it, makes it more palatable!

Long grain wild rice or white, brown rice is super chewy and most that I've had tastes like cardboard :sick:

I prefer brown rice, taste-wise, but the health benefit is marginal. We're talking a gram or two of fiber.

This for me also!
