For years, the health benefits of rice, especially white rice, have been side-swiped by many health gurus who claim that it is responsible for obesity, diabetes and many human health ills. The truth is that rice is one of the healthiest options around for anyone looking to lose weight and build muscle.
Health Benefits of White Rice
That’s right. white rice has health benefits. For years, if not centuries, Asians have been eating white rice for many dishes and it’s no surprise that their instances of obesity and diabetes were lower than their western counterparts.
Why?
Two reasons: What’s being served with it and how it’s processed. Polished white rice is stripped of all the nutrients that make it a worthy and viable source of nutrition. That’s why a lot of the white rice in the stores are vitamin fortified because the polished rice is nothing more than refined starch. Natural, unpolished white rice has many health benefits including:
- Protein – for every 150g, rice has about 5 grams of protein
- Gastrointestinal – Because it’s low in fiber and easily digested, white rice is great for relieving diarrhea and even morning sickness
- Muscle building – Muscles need amino acids to grow and rice is a great source
- Overall energy – the body needs carbohydrates to function and white rice is an excellent source.
As far as a regular part of an healthy diet, the health benefits of (unpolished) white rice make it a viable option.
Benefits of Brown Rice
Brown rice is the talk of the town and, according to many in the health and wellness field, a much better option than white rice hands down. Brown rice comes when the outermost hull of the grain is removed and plenty of nutrients left. Brown rice has:
- Fiber – it’s an excellent source of dietary fiber which helps to keep the colon healthy
- Manganese – Keeps bones healthy and helps the people with insulin resistance maintain healthy blood sugar levels
- Selenium – found in nuts, selenium helps to counter the effects of free radicals.
- Magnesium – like manganese, it promotes health bones but it also helps with proper blood circulation
Brown rice is more nutritionally dense and has a flavor that some people don’t like; instead of boiling in water, some choose broth or even coconut milk.
So what is black rice?
Black rice is an heirloom rice that is black when raw but purple when cooked. The color is due to the presence of anthocyanin, the same pigment that is present in dark red, blue and purple fruits such as blackberries, blueberries and cherries. Anthocyanin is a natural anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory that is linked to lowering cholesterol and preventing chronic diseases such as diabetes and heart disease. In addition to being high in fiber, black rice is rich in iron.
Of all three, black rice is the least known and least prevalent but its benefits are profound. Rice is a versatile food with many health benefits that’s a great source of energy. It goes well with a most forms of protein like fish, meats, beans and vegetables so it can be doctored. At the end of the day, the kind of rice you prefer depends on many factors including flavor and taste.
So which rice is right for you?

Hi Dianne,
Good write up on rice. For years I was eating white rice, thinking it was good for me until I started reading Dr. Weil’s books. Then I saw the real truth as you mention. White rice is stripped (processed) and unhealthy. So, I’ve been eating other kinds of rice for many years now. I even ask for different rice when eating out. I won’t eat white rice at restaurants.
Thanks for the article!
Rich Donahue recently posted..The Benefits Of Juicing Beets
Twitter: WLH4H
Thanks Rich. Dr Weil is great; I love his site. I never used to eat white rice when I lived in the US either and when I went out I would opt for brown or just veggies. Since I live here in Jamaica I do eat white rice. The white rice here is not polished, it tastes less empty, looks a little browner and it’s got some of the husk still in it. It’s a lot less processed and when we do eat it, it’s cooked with beans or peas so that adds proteins and nutrients as well. I like the flavor of white rice and always combine it with pumpkin or something else anyway. In any case, thanks for the comment!

1. Wow. I didn’t even know black rice existed!
2. Yesterday I was eating white rice with my Thai food and felt guilty for not making some brown rice. I’ve heard that white rice has almost no nutritional value. Glad I was wrong and can go guilt free with white rice every once and awhile.

Hi Julie,
No need to feel guilty at all because we eat other foods with the rice so as long as you’re not eating a ton of rice and nothing else, you’re good. I love Thai food and some of the main dishes just call for white rice!

Hi Tanya,
I had heard of black rice but it’s not that well known in the West yet. For sure, brown rice is better than white so you hit the nail on the head there.. I know a lot of people, my father in particular, who can’t stand the taste. When we do it we cook it with coconut milk which adds great flavor to it as well. Thanks for your comment

Why do you think they bleach rice white? What’s the point?
Twitter: WLH4H
Thanks Darnell,
I think rice is modified to make it more available to the population. Anything in a natural form has a limited shelf life so to make it last, it’s processed. Unfortunately the nutrients that give it a limited shelf life are the ones we need. It’s an interesting cycle.
Dianne recently posted..Cancer Fighting Foods: Guinea Hen Weed, The Anti-Cancer Plant
Twitter: himanshuk18
Darnell as the name suggests bleaching is actually decolouring or giving it colour that you want. If we are seeing for long term benefits than bleaching is bad for health and makes rice less nutritious than those which are not.

Great comparison Dianne …
Most of the times, I chose whole wheat items (like chapatis) to rice but when occasion demands, I like to have white rice. But how do we differentiate between polished and unpolished white rice?
Salman recently posted..Nail Polish Designs: Choosing from the Best
Twitter: WLH4H
Great question, Salman. I know for me, the rice I use has a brownish tint when it’s uncooked and the husks are still present which means it hasn’t been bleached or completely milled. Polished rice has neither; it’s really a bright white. When it’s cooked, polished rice tastes so starchy with no flavor. That’s one of the reasons why I just didn’t like white rice for a long time. Now that I have access to different variety, the taste is different and it complements a lot of the dishes better.
Hope that helps

Hi Michael. I know the research is out there in favor of brown rice. I know that when I would go to Thai or Chinese restaurants, I would order brown rice. It may cost me a little more but I didn’t mind the flavor. Hope business is going well for you!

Hi Dianne,
We have many and varied Asian restaurants here in Perth and this is often reflected now in our customer requirements too, with the majority now asking for brown rice in their party menus.
As you say, it can be a little more costly but it is worth the extra expense.
Finally, thanks, business is ticking over, despite the tough times that we are all going through.

White Rice is the most prevalent almost everywhere in the world! Looking at rice, I read that in Nigeria there are places where “unprocessed” rice are planted and named after the region they are grown. The Ofada rice and Abakaliki rice are more nutritious than the common white rice.
Twitter: WLH4H
Right. For those who are able to grow their own rice, the nutritional benefits are much better. Would that we all could do that!
Dianne recently posted..Cancer Fighting Foods: Jamaican Sorrel, Antioxidant Powerhouse
I think it is funny that people believe that brown rice is a separate kind of rice from white rice. As you mentioned it is just un-hulled white rice. To anyone who has not tried black rice, go to an authentic Thai restaurant, they use it in some deserts with coconut milk, amazingly delicious.

Hi Michael, Since Jasmine rice is grown organically in Thailand, I would suggest finding a store like Whole Foods that could sells the real stuff.. I suspect that some US Jasmine rice may be polished white rice like you mentioned. If nothing else, try online. There are plenty of Thai suppliers online but they do have a tendency to sell it in bulk…like 20/25 pounds.

Calorie-wise, I believe it’s almost the same in brown and white rice. But since white rice has more fibre (and other good stuff), they will make you feel more full, easier/faster, so you might eat a little less of it.
But overall, I think, if you just don’t eat too much rice, you will be fine.
Best to avoid (or cut down!) all the other processed food/candy/etc that we stuff into our faces all the time, and eat more natural stuff.

Hi Klaus, I think too much of anything is not good and you’re right about the caloric similarities of white and brown rice.
