Why A Colorful Diet Is A Better Diet

(eDiets.com) - A healthy rule of thumb? Don’t eat anything white! This applies to bread, rice and grains. In a general sense, if something is white, it’s been bleached and is less than complete.

For example: white rice vs. brown rice. Both white and brown rice are good sources of nutrition. But, I prefer brown rice to white. White rice has had the bran, husk and germ removed and that’s where all the natural nutrition is stored!

White rice is enriched and provides a bit more iron and thiamine than brown rice, but brown has more fiber, vitamin E, phosphorus and calcium. Brown rice is chewier and has a great, nutty flavor.

You can buy the original version or the 10-minute instant brown rice. Instant rice is precooked and dehydrated, but otherwise similar in nutritional value to the original.
