Is eating White Jasmine rice healtheir than white rice?

Well recently I've been on an organic diet. I traveled to an organic supermarket named WholeFoods. One of the rices they offered is white jasmine. When I compare the taste to regular white rice I see no significant differance. But Am I eating healthier......or is no?

Is eating White Jasmine rice healtheir than white rice?
hum... White Jasmine Rice is actually just a kind of Thai rice. No big deal about it except for its fragrance. Well, at least this is what I've learned when I was living in Malaysia. My in laws would only buy Jasmine Rice... and well, I have to agree that this variation of rice is quite good tasting. For a healthier eating, if I am not mistaken, the best is the brown rice. My mom cooked it for quite some time, but I didn't like it much. At my understanding being a healthy eater, one must eat lots of vege, fruits, cereals, but should also eat a little bit of meat, eggs, poutry, fish, etc. Human body is not like cows that only need veges. We also need protein and other stuff that is in the meat. Of course, I am not talking about eating tones of meat, but I think every human should eat a litte bit. But anyway, it is a very good decision that u made by having an organic diet. Keep it up.
Reply:White rice is still white rice. It's just flavored (hopefully) naturally. Any whole grain rice is better for you.
Reply:White rice is white rice. The only rice that is healthier is brown rice because it has not been overly processed.
Reply:white rice is refined carbohydrates. simple sugars! if you wanna eat healthy try brown rice, complex carb and hi-fibre
Reply:If you are truly eating organic then you are eating healthier - that is, you are eating food w/o pesticides.


My doubts about organic foods is that you often see organic food farms across the road or down wind from industrial farms. Get my point?
Reply:Jasmine rice is a type of rice, like Basmati, what makes it white is when they remove the hull. Rice is healthier when the hull is left on. So If your idea is to eat healthier then any brown rice is going to be better for you. Jasmine rice has a wonderfull aroma. try to get it in brown.


Hope this helps
