Brown or white rice?

[DandelionH]

Hello!
Just curious who cooks brown and who cooks white rice?
I was raised on brown so feel it has more 'flavour' but my partner eats sushi rice with everything and now I've gotten into it I don't mind it at all. Nifty texture!

There's a lot going 'round about how grains are bad and I disagree but am shifting over to the side of their nutrients perhaps being unavailable to us because of the phytates and what not. AKA no nutritional difference between white and brown grain as long as they aren't eaten in isolation?

I'm trying to eat well and get my health back 100% so if brown rice is packed with actual available vitamins I'm all for it. But white rice is easier to fit in more calories through... Super-digestible too...

Juuuust curious about your valuable opinions ...

I eat short grain brown because I like the flavor.

No reason not to mix it up and eat both .  For white I prefer Jasmine rice.  For brown, any long grain will do.  If your a salt hound like me I make a bunch of Jasmine and pour in a large can of 100% tomato sauce and some pink hymalayan salt.  Kind of soupy but kinda not...lol.  It freezes well in serving sizes.  Adding chicken to it is good too.  I like to keep things simple  I throw a whole chicken in the crock pot and it basically debones itself.  Again, freezes well.

True. Mixing it up is an option I always forget about. My mind is a little too black or white about food these days. Thanks for the advice and reminder!

And oh! Short grain brown! That's a kinda compromise, in fact. We have long grain brown or sushi (sticky short) white. Time to acquire a third option !

Do have to note though that the last few nights of white have been really good. Easier to fit in and easy digestion. Zero blood sugar spikes I expected as the child of a doctor who raised me to think that stuff was the devil...
