"Rice: Which Type is Best for Your Health?"

The question of the “healthiest rice” is one rooted in exclusion and harmful diet culture, says nutrition scientist Kera Nyemb-Diop. While brown rice has more fiber, fat, and protein than white rice, all rice is healthy and a good source of nutrients. Rather than focusing on one specific food, Nyemb-Diop recommends an “abundance” strategy or adding rather than restricting one specific food from your diet. Eating diverse foods in moderation is the healthiest thing you can do for your body, which requires a variety of nutrients to operate.
