White or Brown

[rasczak]

Rice, which do you prefer?

I miss white. brown is ok, but just doesn't do it for me. due to diabetes, dr told me to lay off the white stuff. brown only.

 

[bignateyk]

Brown, cuz its healther and tastes just as good.

My personal preference is for a mix of wild and brown.

 

[vi edit]

Ricist.

The sticky white rice is the best. Unless your at Hibachi where I prefer to have the brown rice made right in front of you.

 

[rivan]

Depends.

Basmati >> Wild > Brown >> Jasmine.

I think you're thinking of fried rice at the hibachi, which is still made using white rice.

White

Edit: with the new poll, I predict more brown replies with far more white votes

I find that the more and more I try to like brown rice, the more i hate it.

I prefer white, but lately eat brown if it's available. Healthier. And really it practically tastes the same.

somewhat, to me there's a textural difference between the two that is very large. maybe i need to try some more brands before scrapping brown altogether and going back to white.

@Vi, lol that didn't take long.

wheres the option for both? im not a rice snob, i like brown rice just as much as white. they both have places with different meals, and fried rice tastes way better with white.

 

[BoomerD]

I am a ricist. If it ain't white...it ain't right.

(I don't really like rice all that much, but I prefer jasmine rice to plain white rice...and you can stick "wild rice" where the sun doesn't shine)







Yes, I mean Seattle.

I used to dislike brown rice but now I prefer it over white. I have started eating Quinoa and if it wasn't so expensive, I'd eat it over brown.

I prefer white but I only eat brown because it's healthier. It tastes ok with some soya sauce.

 

[shortylickens]

White, but with other stuff, like veggies and chicken.
Nothing disgusts me more than a plain serving of solo rice. WTF is that shit?

 

[Cerpin Taxt]

I begged and pleaded with my local chinese place to start carrying brown rice. As of a few months ago, they began offering it a fully twice the cost of white rice, and yet it is the only kind of rice I'll order from them now.

LOL when I was little I'd eat it with butter and salt.
Actually, that sounds awesome right now in a retro/flash-back/relive-my-childhood kinda way.

 

[Leros]

Brown rice does not taste just as good. Jasmine rice ftw

 

[BurnItDwn]

Basmati rice is my favorite. Otherwise I like jasmine rice. And my third option would be plain white rice.

 

[DougK62]

Brown rice actually has flavor.

I've heard that the supposed health benefits of brown over white is somewhere between the Bullshit<----->Negligible scale.

any truth to that?

There isn't a huge difference. More fiber, more vitamins, magnesium, etc.

Nothing massive, especially compared to enriched white rice. But it's still better so if you can get used to it you might as well switch.
