Whole-grain brown rice is a rich source of fiber. Slightly chewy and nutty tasting, brown rice contains more natural nutrients than white rice. White rice may be enriched to add back some of the vitamins and minerals lost during processing, but fortification canât replace the fiber retained in brown rice.
A serving is approximately one ounce, or one slice of 100% whole wheat bread, 1/2 cup of brown rice, or one ounce of whole grain breakfast cereal. Are all whole grains high in fiber? Some whole grain foods have more fiber than others. For example, 100% whole wheat bread has more fiber than brown rice. But, even those whole grains with less fiber have the health promoting benefits of whole grains. Are high fiber foods a good source of whole grains? Just because a food is high in fiber does not mean it is a good source of whole grain.
