Some people may wonder if they want to try healthy rice but don't know which one to choose between brown rice, black rice, and jasmine rice. Today, we will help you understand how each type of rice is different and what benefits they offer.
First, let's get to know each type of rice. We start with brown rice, which is the same type of rice as fragrant jasmine rice, but with the outer layer left intact. Brown rice grains have a pointed shape and are longer and firmer than jasmine rice. The husk of brown rice is yellowish and tasteless. On the other hand, black rice is a newly developed strain of rice that resulted from crossbreeding between fragrant jasmine rice and glutinous rice. The grains of black rice are dark purple, long, and slender, with a sweet taste. Therefore, we can see that brown rice and black rice are different types of rice, differing in color and taste. However, one thing in common is that both types of rice have more benefits than ordinary polished jasmine rice.
Benefits of Brown Rice and Black Rice:
"Rice" is not only a staple food that helps us feel full, but it also has many benefits. Black rice is rich in essential nutrients, such as omega-3, which helps with the nervous system, brain, and liver function. It also contains vitamin E, which helps produce antioxidants to nourish the skin. Brown rice is high in fiber, vitamins, and minerals, and has a lower glycemic index than white rice. This means it helps regulate blood sugar levels and reduces the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Both types of rice are also gluten-free and contain beneficial plant compounds such as antioxidants and anti-inflammatory substances.
Each type of rice has different benefits depending on the consumer's needs. However, both of these types of rice have their own advantages that are equally good. Besides eating rice, don't forget to consume a variety of foods from the 5 food groups and take care of your health to have a strong body.
