class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There is a long debate on brown vs. white rice, similar to whole wheat vs. white bread. While brown rice is a whole grain, white rice is refined. Compared to white rice, brown rice has more vitamins, fibers, and other nutrients. When the outer bran layer is remained intact, it comes out as brown rice, but when it gets removed, it becomes white rice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Long_grain_and_short-grain_rice\"><\/span><strong>Long grain and short-grain rice<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Short grain rice looks round and is sticky and soft when cooked. On the other hand, long-grain rice has a slender texture, and it features less starch than short-grain rice. So it turns out light and fluffy when cooked. Therefore, you should pick long-grain rice when you need to cook pulao or any other dish that needs the rice to look fluffier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sella_basmati_rice\"><\/span><strong>Sella basmati rice<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Sella basmati rice is partially boiled rice. It is parboiled while it is in its husk and then milled. After parboiling, the rice turns yellow; hence it is also called golden sella basmati rice. It is different from its counterparts and contains more nutrients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although the parboiled rice takes longer to cook, its grains do not stick, forming a fluffy and firm texture, after cooking. You can explore its variants like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jashnfoods.com\/1121-basmati-rice\">1121 basmati rice<\/a> that carry the same qualities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Wild_rice\"><\/span><strong>Wild rice<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Wild rice is a unique rice variety featuring a chewy taste. As compared to regular rice, wild rice is high in protein. It also contains several other nutrients. Eating it regularly may lower the risk of type 2 diabetes and improve your heart health. Because wild rice is rich in antioxidants, including it in your diet helps you fight the signs of aging too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Rice_varieties_and_nutrient_counts\"><\/span><strong>Rice varieties and nutrient counts<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"White_rice\"><\/span><strong>White rice<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>1 cup contains:<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>204 calories<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1 gram fiber<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&nbsp;4-gram protein<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Glycemic Index \u2014 72, can go up to 89 (High)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Other vitamins &amp; minerals<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2014 negligible<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Parboiled_white_rice\"><\/span><strong>Parboiled white rice<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>White rice parboiled<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1 cup contains:<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>194 calories,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&nbsp;1 gram fiber<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&nbsp;4 gram protein<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Glycemic Index \u2014 38 (Low)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Other vitamins &amp; minerals<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2014 Calcium, Vitamin B6, Iron, Magnesium, Potassium, and Zinc<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Basmati_rice\"><\/span><strong>Basmati rice<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>1 cup contains:<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>191 calories<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&nbsp;1 gram fiber<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>6 gram protein (depending on the brand)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Glycemic Index: 56, can go up to 69 (Medium)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Other vitamins &amp; minerals: Calcium, Vitamin B6, Iron, Magnesium, Potassium, and Zinc<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Thai_glutinous_rice\"><\/span><strong>Thai glutinous rice<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>1 cup contains:<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>169 calories<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2 gram fiber<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&nbsp;4 gram protein<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Glycemic Index: 98 (High)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Other vitamins &amp; minerals: negligible<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Brown_rice\"><\/span><strong>Brown rice<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>1 cup contains:<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&nbsp;216 calories<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&nbsp;4 gram fiber<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>5 gram protein<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Glycemic Index: 50 (Low)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Other vitamins &amp; minerals: Iron, Vitamin B1, B3 &amp; B6, Manganese, and Phosphorus<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Wild_rice-2\"><\/span><strong>Wild rice<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>1 cup contains:<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>166 calories<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>3 gram fiber<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&nbsp;7 gram protein<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Glycemic Index: 87 (High)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Other vitamins &amp; minerals: Calcium, Vitamin B6, Iron, Magnesium, Potassium, and Zinc<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Rice with less processing is better for your health.
