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.
Each cup of white rice provides  53 grams of total carbohydrates, or 18 percent of the recommended daily intake for carbohydrates for a healthy person on a 2,000-calorie diet. White rice provides less than 1 gram of dietary fiber per serving. Dietary fiber lowers your cholesterol levels and helps prevent constipation. Healthy adults should get at least 14 grams of fiber per 1,000 calories in the diet. Whole grains, such as brown rice, are better sources of fiber than refined grains, such as white rice.
