I'm trying to stay healthy. I've been getting recommendations that I should eat this or that. Two recommendations are brown rice and red rice. What is the difference between? Which one is healthier? Thanks.

Brown rice is chewy and more nutritious than white rice, due to the layers of bran that remain.

Like brown rice, red rice also maintains the bran, resulting in a chewy, nutritious rice. Red rice is mainly grown in Europe, India and Southeast Asia.

Both brown and red rice can be long-, medium- or short-grain. The long- grain variety is drier and fluffs when cooked. Short-grain rice has higher starch content and is sticky when cooked.

Brown and red rice are whole-grain rice. They each require approximately 60 minutes of boiling time to soften.

Brown and red rice come from different types of seeds, but are equivalent in nutrition and cooking time. The main difference is the taste, which is a matter of personal preference.

Never heard of red rice but brown would be better as it isn't processed in the sa.e way white rice is and will have more fibre content. Anyone know more about red rice?

Haven't heard of red rice either...Hmmm...Which one tastes better?
