It\u2019s time to settle an age-old nutrition debate: Is brown rice or white rice better for your health?<\/p>\n

Nutrition pros<\/a> say they’re used to the inquiry.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“As a nutrition professor, I often get asked in class what type of rice (brown or white) is healthiest for someone,” Martha Lawder, clinical assistant professor at University of the Pacific – School of Health Sciences in Sacremento, California, tells Fox News Digital.<\/p>\n

“The truth is, both can be valuable sources of nutrition and included in a healthy diet,”<\/a> she added.<\/p>\n

Whether you opt for brown rice, white rice or both, Lawder says your should incorporate grains into your diet.<\/a><\/p>\n

“Grains, including rice, can be a nutritionally important part of our overall dietary intake,” says Lawder.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“The USDA encourages that at least 50% of our intake be whole grains and that a serving of rice is one cup,” she adds. “This could mean including both brown and white rice in different ways in your diet to meet your nutrition needs.”<\/a><\/p>\n

Alix Turoff, a registered dieitian and owner of Alix Turoff Nutrition and Fitness in Manhasset, New York, says there’s not much difference between the two types of rice.<\/p>\n

Turoff breaks down the specs of a \u00bc cup of each rice as follows:<\/p>\n

150 calories<\/p>\n

0g fa<\/p>\n

35g carbs<\/p>\n

0g fiber\u00a0<\/p>\n

3g protein<\/p>\n

160 calories<\/p>\n

1.5g fat<\/p>\n

33g carbs<\/p>\n

5g fiber<\/p>\n

6 grams of protein<\/p>\n

As Turoff sums up the nutrition specs,<\/a> “while brown rice does contain more fiber than white rice (5 grams in brown vs. 0 grams in white), the calorie contents are fairly similar.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Turoff also agrees that overall, the health content of white rice and brown rice are very similar.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Fiber can be found in a variety of different foods so outside of a few grams of fiber, I wouldn’t split hairs between white vs. brown rice and would instead encourage people to eat whichever they prefer and try to get more fiber through fruits and vegetables,”<\/a> she says.<\/p>\n

Personally, Turoff loves making a nutrient-dense version of “fried rice” (that isn\u2019t actually fried) by mixing either white or brown rice with a package of frozen cauliflower rice plus frozen veggies, saut\u00e9ed onion<\/a> and garlic, an egg, edamame, a dash of sesame oil and coconut aminos.\u00a0<\/p>\n

If you’re still curious, here\u2019s a deep dive into the nutrition qualities of brown rice vs. white rice.<\/p>\n

White rice may not be a whole grain, admits Lawder, but it can still provide a lot of nutrition when it has been enriched.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“The enrichment process helps to ensure that B vitamins<\/a> and iron are comparable to that of brown rice,” she says, adding that It\u2019s key to note that enriched rice should not be washed as this removes the enrichment.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This type of rice may also be a particularly good choice for the active set.\u00a0<\/p>\n

THE BEST VEGETABLES FOR YOUR HEALTH, ACCORDING TO NUTRITIONISTS<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

“White rice can be a great option for athletes.<\/a>\u00a0Since it has less fiber, it can be digested quickly to help meet energy demands or help replenish glycogen within the muscles,” says Lawder.<\/p>\n

As noted above, “brown rice is a great whole grain option to help meet your fiber needs,” says Lawder.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“It is also rich in many different vitamins and minerals<\/a> that can benefit your overall metabolic health, such as B-vitamins and iron,” she adds.<\/p>\n

Lawder calls out brown rice as an option to help stabilize blood sugars.<\/p>\n

“Since it has fiber, it can slow digestion and help reduce spikes in blood sugar,”<\/a> she notes.<\/p>\n

But wait, there\u2019s more \u2013 types of rice, that is.<\/p>\n

“There are other whole grain rice options, like black or red rice. These two whole grain rices provide similar nutritional profiles to brown rice, but also contain natural color pigments<\/a> called anthocyanins,” says Lawder.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Anthocyanins are phytochemicals that act as powerful antioxidants and can be a beneficial part of an anti-inflammatory diet,” she explains.<\/p>\n

Lawder shares the nutrition specs for both as follows: One cup of black rice is considered two servings of grains and contains 170 calories, 36g of carbohydrate and 2g of fiber; One cup of red rice is considered two servings of grains and contains 200 calories, 48g of carbohydrate and 3g of fiber.<\/p>\n

Now that you\u2019ve got the scoop on white rice vs. brown rice, you might be thinking: Which should I scoop onto my dinner plate<\/a> (or breakfast, or lunch plate) today?<\/p>\n

Lawder says it’s okay to consume white rice if that’s what you like.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Just make sure you eat some other whole grains to help provide micronutrients to your metabolism,” she notes.<\/p>\n

In Turoff\u2019s opinion, the takeaway is similar: “Go for whichever grain you prefer and meet your nutrition needs through a variety of different foods.”<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
