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.
When it comes to fiber, opt for the whole-grain versions of rice and bread. A 1/2-cup serving of brown rice provides 1.8 grams of fiber, and a slice of whole-wheat bread contains 1.9 grams, while white rice only contains 0.3 gram of fiber and white bread only provides 0.4 gram. Fiber helps keep your digestive tract healthy, limits your risk for heart disease and assists in weight maintenance.
