Don't forget that the package of rice only gives part of the story. It doesn't give a complete breakdown of vitamins and minerals and in brown rice they are higher.

Subject: Brown vs. White Rice
I'v always heard that brown rice is so much better for you, so I grabbed my
now empty bag of brown rice and my half full box of converted rice to compare
per 1 cup of cooked rice:
Brown White
Calories 150 170
Fat 0 0
Sodium 0 0
Carbohydrate 32g 38g
Protein 3g 4g
Fiber 1g 0g
So, it doesn't really make that much difference which you eat unless 20
calories, 6 carbohydrates and 1g of fiber and protein bother you? Am I missing
something here?
