That fiber also has an impact on the glycemic index of the rice. Brown rice has a lower glycemic index, meaning it has a smaller impact on blood sugar levels.
Foods rich in fiber can also aid digestion, reduce cholesterol and promote healthy weight—some of the key health benefits of rice, especially when choosing whole grain varieties like brown rice.
Brown rice is slightly higher in calories but also richer in protein: 1.83g per 1/3 cup compared to 1.42g in white rice. While rice does contain protein, it is not a complete protein since it does not contain all essential amino acids. But mixing rice and beans together creates a delicious combination that also creates complete proteins.
