Which rice is best? White, Brown, Red or Black Rice? Which Rice is best for diabetes and health? 

Thanks Maria

We are in the same boat. I just bought black rice today for my husband.

true. Some close ups of the rice would have been good, but still top notch vid. Espesh at 1.5 speed :P

Thanks for sharing

Thanks alot for your valuable feedback.

Explain

Yeah. But it is lonely to eat.

Black rice is best since 2 years I am using black rice daily ,organic

Very good. Glad to hear. Getting a good nutritionist will help if your pcod is acute.

Thanks

Thanks. It’s also very nice to keep switching the different varieties of rice so you can keep having new flavours.

Thanks

Hi, I think its best when you “add” black rice to your repertoire of rice. So make a black rice risotto one day, and a brown rice stir fry another day :) Hope this helps

@@LifeHeal - Many Thanks for your time and advice. Both are much appreciated. 🌹

Great

Hi Harold, Firstly the non-white rices have more fiber, so they will keep you fuller for longer. Means you will get hungry again after longer time, and this means you will snack less and therefore it will cut down your calories. Also, if you get a higher glucose spike after your white rice meal then it will also cause more weight gain. This is based on the theory of reducing your insulin resistance. If the glucose spike increases your insulin resistance, then your body will secrete more insulin even though in both your examples The same amount of glucose was produced. I hope this answers your question

@@LifeHeal Thank you so much for your clarification! really appreciate it! Stay healthy!

Hi. Glycemic load is extremely important. However, in the case of rice, the glycaemic load will be similar as you would probably eat almost the same volume of rice, regardless of the colour. The quantity of an item, specially when it comes to grains, flour, nuts, dairy, oil, starchy vegetables is extremely important. It is hard to over eat leafy or fiber-rich vegetables

Hi, sorry, I do not have a table and I am not sure which rice has the highest potassium.

Thank you!

Hi. Quinoa has more protein. Rice is eaten more for taste and our habits. Quinoa is healthier. But remember- too much of anything is also bad. Include quinoa in your diet.

@@LifeHeal, Thank you...

Par boiled rice is also unhealthy

I think parboiled rice contains much less carbs. than white & brown rice.

@@ranjitvedajna4705 Thank you so much!

@@SaffariRose After implementing all other food restrictions...I 've stuck to one thing i.e the boiled rice. 6 yrs back my fasting blood sugar used to be 170 to 180. Now since the last 6 yrs it varies from 125 to 130 .Taking no other diabetes medicines of any kind.

Great. Yes black rice is very nice. I like them all ! (except for white)

@@LifeHeal I think sushi should only ever be made with white rice but I otherwise agree.

:)

Black rice has a little gluten.

yes, sure. anything that makes it tasty, or pleasing to the eye. Its good to mix things up !

Good question, unfortunately I do not have the answer to this.

With new research in the field of diabetes - I have simplified my position. Eat this rice and check your glucose after one hour. You can compare it with another rice and eat the same here, just change the rice. And again check your glucose level. Then you will know how a rice specifically suits you.

They also have Diabetic Basmati rice. This rice is much better than the regular Basmati rice.

Hi Kavin. Sorry i wouldn’t be able to comment on that.

Awesome question. I think for toddlers the white rice might be best, as it is easiest to chew. The other rices have a lot more fiber which may not be too much for a toddler

It does. If you boil it and then it settle down, you’ll be able to feel some of the gluten on your fingertips. If you make a black rice kheer The gluten will add a jelly like texture to the kheer.

@@LifeHeal gluten is a protein. It’s not any & every sticky gluey feel. It’s misleading to people with gluten allergies to say rice has gluten. It doesn’t

Hi Lucy, thanks for your comment. I would have to see the wild rice to comment. If it has gluten the rice will get a little sticky. Now,, almost all rice can be made sticky so its not a perfect test, its a way to eyeball it.

Yes. Black rice is a complex carb

@@LifeHeal what complex carb mean please?

Yes.

@@g.j Thank you. How about black Rice and red rice?

You can mix any kinds of rices :)

Hi R A, I am not sure about that one !

No it's not same. Rosematta is one of the healthiest Indian rice varieties.

Hi, unfortunately I am not familiar with brands for kerala matta rice Definitely 0gm of fiber seems wrong, but i cannot give any further comments on why they have labelled it as such I have often bought Mantra24 Red rice, though I am not sure if it is same as Kerala matta rice. hope this helps !

@@LifeHeal Thanks for getting back, i did more research and found that kerala red rice different from the red rice you have shown. Another thing is white rice has very high GI when consumed alone. however when white rice is included in a meal which has good amount of fat,protein & fiber the GI varies. It comes down to how you prepare your whole meal with white rice.

@@jchakrab Yes, the fiber and the fat will affect the GI. but that is the case with any food item. Fiber and fat will slow down Glucose absorbption

Actually black rice has a small amount of gluten. It may be possible to find gluten-free black rice, but most common varieties of black rice would have a small amount of gluten.

What?

Hahahaha

@@haunts89 it's like "Black Lives Matter " but Rice haha

Non gmo yet!Expensive though...

😂😂😂

Generally the brown, red or black will be better.

Wdym

​@@LifeHeal wdym. U said generaly brown then u said black n red better

@@sexiesttmanalive I meant to say - brown/black/red will all be better than white

Wild rice can taste amazing, plus the variety it gives me in my rices. I like the unique textures i get when i eat an assorted wild rice mix. Generally all the wild rice i have seen is unpolished, means it has the husk. So it should be high fiber, and probably have a good amount of nutrients. Since wild rices are of many types i can’t comment specifically, but i generally consider them as healthy as a brown or red or black rice. Hope this helps

I wanted to know also...

@@ramsese41 no I have asked doctor and he said its healthy and full of vitamins so u should eat everyday but u should check how ur body is adapting bcoz if u r digestion is good or not

Hi be honest. There aren't any side effects. Now a days many people are saying that rice has arsenic in it, specially if coming from China. I would look into that if possible. I do eat brown, red or black rice, but in limited amounts. Generally these rices are all very good for diabetes and weight loss as they dont cause the same sugar spike that white rice causes. you can also add quinoa to your rice and it increases both the fiber and the protein content

@@LifeHeal thank u so much

@@FuckJewTube664 yes to me it is better.

Black rice. I think black rice can either be "wild rice" or "forbidden rice." Both of them are equally good

Both are great! Depends on taste you want to try. Black is something quite different

I am not an expert, but I do believe that black rice was originally found in nature. Now of course it is farmed and harvested for commercial use.

@@LifeHeal Thank you for your response

Hi, Wild rice could mean anything. I think different regions will have different "wild" rices. Black rice also has a few varieties, but it is always black, and usually it has a little gluten in it too which makes it slightly sticky. A fun recipe is a "black rice kheer" :)

Thank you so much for explanation (:

Kelvin Castillo cuz it’s not in the local store for many

@@hibaajaz946 Walmart has three different types of black rice and one variety of red rice. If you ever go to Walmart give it a try.

Hi, sorry I wasn't getting alerts for comments. I think its good to have variety.

because black rice has gluten in it

I think the difference is negligible. Black rice normally has a small amount of gluten in it, which some people like.

Thanks :)
