We have switched over to Brown rice for better health, I still prefer white rice though.

Is brown rice that much better than white?

Brown rice provides more fiber, vitamin E, phosphorus and calcium. It has less calories and less carbs.

It's sort of along the same lines of white vs. wheat bread.

Enriched white rice may have the benefit of more Iron but everything else has been bleached away.

My favorite rice is...

JERRY RICE! :woot:

Yup very true. Brown Rice is extremely good for you. You can check out Hotman. They had some pretty good health foods on that show. Sometimes my family will mix a little bit of Jasmine Rice with Brown Rice together :D

There are good carbs and bad carbs. Brown rice, Wheat bread, and also many vegetables have a lot of fiber and thus take longer for the body to break it down.

Bad carbohydrates like those in sugar, white rice, beer, white bread, white potatoes and flour tend to zip through your stomach and flood your bloodstream with sugar, causing your insulin levels to rise. "When you're eating a lot of bad carbs, your insulin is so busy processing the sugar that it doesn't have time to do its other job, which is to help the body burn fat.

At least that is how I understand it from what I have read. :beaten:

here it is the best rice, little bit too expensive though :

So it's not less carbs, but better carbs, neh? :)

Kind of a combo of the two. White Rice has about 38 carbs per serving Brown has about 32. (Not sure what the serving size was...)

-- prime rib (which, I can't eat, 'cause I don't eat meat)
-- Alaskan salmon (from someone who used to live in Alaska)
-- assorted sushi
-- Fried chicken (from someone who used to live in the south; we basically BEGGED her to make this one, even though she insisted that her crab legs taste much better).
-- WHITE RICE (hmmm, didn't we discuss this earlier, hahah)
-- Teriyaki meat, teriyaki chicken
-- Chinese noodles
-- Mexican chili, chips, salsa, etc.
-- Mochi chicken
-- Pasta Primavera.
-- somebody's gonna bring French fries!
-- Caesar salad
A few more other stuff.

Desserts
-- assorted pies (including chocolate, custard, strawberry, etc).
-- mochi ice cream
-- a Halloween cake
-- ice cream

Assorted carbonated drinks.
Need I say, I won't be eating dinner tonight :hehe:

Yeah, if there's one thing our dept. has is folks who like to cook. And folks who have become decently good cooks via force, like me, hahaha (I contributed the primavera if you're wondering). I guess that's why we have gatherings more than, say, going out to a restaurant (which we like to do too , actually:) ).
