The perfect weight-loss pantry: What’s the deal with white rice?
White rice
Looking for the 'cleanest' way to add some extra energy to your meals? Have kids who are hungry all the time but don't want to feed them wheat-containing foods like bread and pasta? On a diet but still need some starch in your eating plan?
White rice is the answer.
Why WHITE rice? I thought brown rice was healthier ...
Well, actually no. You see, while grains and brown rice are un-milled and unprocessed (which is always supposed to be a good thing) it actually means that they still have their outer 'shell' present which has been sprayed with chemicals and contains what people in the industry call 'anti-nutrients' - potentially harmful chemicals that interfere with digestion.
White rice has been stripped of its bran thereby removing these chemicals from the food. In short, what you end up with is a 'clean' starch - easily digestible and a great energy source.
This is why indigenous cultures who use rice as a staple eat white rice, not brown. And you should too.
