Dr Chan compares Black Rice, Brown Rice & White Rice - Protein, Fiber, Antioxidants, Glycemic Index

[@aliciapangilinan5692]

My mom and I recently switched from white to brown to red and the final choice is black rice. And we are loving it. It doesn't really feel heavy on the belly.

Most people eat white rice here in Japan, but I eat brown rice almost every day because it 's nutrient-rich and keeps my bowels regular. Never heard of black rice before. Learned a new thing. Thanks.

[@ThuLe-eh1xe]

Black rice taste really good.

[@dovidysiroel3751]

There is also red rice, which the Dr Chan forgot to mention in this video.

[@fattdamon1980]

I actually don't care for brown rice but I do like white rice. My favorite is black rice though it's delicious packed with nutrients and it just all around is better and more filling. I'm interested to have red rice on its own because I've only had it as a part of mixed wild rice. There's a jade rice that is really good too but it's just short grain white rice soak them Bamboo juice that makes it green and add silica to it but it's tasty as well.

Really great breakdown, news to me despite living in Asia more than 10 years as I typically avoid rice. Just got a rice cooker trying to explore more and got black rice today! Greetings from a Swede in Beijing 🤗☀️

[@steveorwig3510]

I like a blend of Wahani (red rice), Long grain brown rice, Black rice (short grain) with a little "Wild Rice" (not really rice at all). Sprinkle a bit of quinoa, and amaranth, allow 5% more water than straight white rice. Use this for my stir fry....Yum!

My wife and I who is Asian would go out to dinner in China Town the do some shopping at the local Asian grocery stores. We found this one particular brand of black rice that was the best rice I ever tasted. It was labeled Emperors Rice. Very nutty flavor. We tried other black rice brands over the years but none were this delicious.

Been switching from white rice to black and red rice about a month now for my T2 diabetes and I love the taste it’s very yummy and filling no need to have a lot of it and it keeps my belly full.

None. Eat both and test your blood sugar. You'll be surprised how high it will spike.

[@dangcoppock7362]

@@ounsay2626the better rice to eat is the Purple rice. Thailand’s product this rice called Rice Berry Rice It’s a bit more expensive than any rice. I’ve learned to cook and eat this rice you need to mix it with brown or white rice because it tough to cook, I do 1 cup white rice 1 cup of purple rice put extra water in more than regular cooking. I haven’t try to cook on stove top yet. I don’t know how it will turn out..! I live in the U.S. I buying the purple rice from Asian grocery stores or online..! I was close to becoming diabetic I couldn’t eat white rice, I feel this purple rice helps me tremendously now I am not a diabetes thanks God…! And I only know the black rice is the sweet rice ( Thais PP called sticky rice it’s also tough to cook you need to mix it with the white sweet rice ( you soaked it, drained it then steamed it. ) I hope this helps..!

I recently made vegan sushi (tofu, zucchini, carrot, sesame seeds, chili flakes, sea salt, avocado with nori) using black rice, and it was so yummy to me. I do not like rice a lot, but this black rice I enjoy with sushi. I rinsed the rice, and used more water when cooking it. I wonder if that helps reduce the arsenic, but since I do not eat rice daily I do not think it will hurt my health.

[@pettrehello4320]

Yes helps a lot

[@dianp4824]

I rly love black (emperor) rice. It really has this special taste. I don't really know how to describe it but while cooking it, the boiling water tasted very little acidic for some reason. It has this rich in fiber taste and if we have to compare the fiber richness, it's most comparable to plain oats.

[@jonseidman1]

Thank you Dr. Chan. I'm in Philippines for 1 month and all I see is white rice. When I move back to Thailand, I've been studying which is the healthiest rice I should buy. Every article I read kept putting brown rice #1. It was confusing, because looking at the nutrients of each, black rice looked like a better choice (antioxidants and lower fat). Maybe when I go to Makro in Thailand, it won't be a choice, but it's good to know what I should choose if I do have a choice. With that said, I'm curious about red rice and wild rice in comparison to black rice. I know wild rice isn't rice, but in some ways it looks healthier because it is lower in fats. (FYI, lowering fats has been my goal this year. Never cared about fats before, but realizing what a difference it makes.)

I wish that more people would do their homework like Dr. Chan. There is so much misinformation on KZbin and various other media that is not only confusing, but inaccurate. One of the most misunderstood concepts about ride is the word "white". Many people think that white rice is a specific species.

What about pink rice

[@SimplicityForGood]

My question then is as all food can rise blood glucose how will my meals be different if I have the black rice in a bowl or ask them to skip the rice when I go buy my lunch? Is not the problem that no matter I have some salmon, chewy veggies and a dressing in a typical bowl salad my blood glucose going up is still going to prevent me to burn fat until I go into intermittent fasting again after my day’s last meal? How big difference does it make rally if my blood glucose go up to a certain level compared to a lower level if I still am very serious about keeping my eating window strict, like 12 noon to six pm and then let the body rest 18 hours for intermittent fasting? So my concern is, Will these small changes in blood glucose when I actually eat still matter as in skipping the black rice but eating the raw salmon and veggies or having the black rice to the salad as it tastes a lot better and I come to like black rice a lot… But My BMI is up on obese level now of 31 in BMI… So I only eat one protein salad with black rice at noon and then one wok of chicken and veggies or steak and veggies at 5 pm. And then let the body rest. I understand my belly fat cannot just jump out of the window right now as soon as I started. But is going really slow and I like to understand how important these kind of carbs like black rice are to my nutrition… when zi skipped carbs all together I do not feel good even if I do it over a month and so my workouts get totally crappy if I do not add some carbs from my food that can increase the blood glucose in my body and brain when exercising. But I am still fat as it is… feels tough to change when one grow up eating bread, pasta, rice, potatoes and buns and pies and candy and ice cream all the time… 😤 today Is cinnamon bun day and I was almost ordering a special deal on Uber Eats of ten cinnamon buns 😂.. but I told myself , No, I am fed up on my belly fat and ordered my typical raw salmon black rice salad instead… and now I am bloody hungry after that as it is and feel crappy, perhaps the blood glucose went up too high by the black rice and now half an hour later it fell heavily and somI feel bad now while I felt really good directly upon eating the black rice salad… I really want to understand my blood glucose, me feeling great eating my black rise salads but an hour later feel tired and hungry again… what do I need to do to get a balance of energy throughout the day but still not eat carbs all the time? 😳🤷🏻‍♂️🤔 Thanks for a great channel!

After a heart attack, I have been looking at foods that bring satiety without too many calories and that don't have other bad properties such as causing inflamation or sugar spikes. Brown rice has been my go to food. Black rice was a candidate but failed the taste test and was too gummy in texture.

[@MrDaftDumb]

Hi @thehabitsdoctor If i cook black rice in excess water and drain to get rid of the arsenic as mentioned in your other video, does that reduce the nutrients and antioxidants in the black rice?

[@TheHabitsDoctor]

It probably would also remove some nutrients along the way, which is inevitable, but the thing to consider is which wld be a better choice? (A) - remove some arsenic with some nutrient loss VERSUS little/no nutrient loss but with no reduction of arsenic. It comes down to a matter of priorities and choices in the end.

There are people out here, who can only eat white rice. Sellers of rice, should “mix” white rice with a very small amount of ground brown and black rice added to the plain white rice to upgrade the nutritional value! There’s various levels of coffees, why not various levels of rice with fiber. Those who have health issues would greatly benefit from the addition to soft white rice!
