Thanks for the information about the intake of rice by a diabatic patient.Even Doctors do not give knowledge,but poor patients with lack of knowledge (may be a profeesor,scientist,engineer,a political minister or even a richest person in the world) die .

commercial adds come like “smoking tobacco harmfull ”
” Alcohal drinking effects lungs”
” Be aware of Dogs” “Be carefull
of chain snatchers”
But Health slogans like ” Rice not good for daibatics”
” Exercise good for diabatic” not seen.

regards

I am not diabetic, and I love rice, but am concerned about the starches/sugars in it. Therefore I buy the Parboiled Rice, wash it in a sieve under running water, put it in a large saucepan full of Boiling Water, then put the lid on it and turn the fire on my stove down to Low, and simmer it for 20-25 minutes, until it is done, at which point I re-wash the Rice in a sieve under hot running water, and then serve the rice or put it to use in recipes.

I’m surprised you think brown rice tastes horrible because I love it and much prefer it to white rice. I really like the rougher texture and crunchiness of brown rice. Jasmine brown rice is my favorite because it’s so fragrant. Can’t wait to eat it again. Brown rice isn’t for everyone though. My parents don’t like it. Perhaps it’s hard change after a lifetime of eating white rice.

Quite interesting that the more processed rice (Uncle Ben’s) has a lower GI. But why would you want to eat processed rice?

Brown rice has a nutty flavor and you have to get used to it if you’re used to easting white rice. I would go for the basmati rice.

Hi just wanted to note with the Bangladeshi BR16 rice, apparently it’s not commercially available outside Bangladesh. According to the University of Sydney (the people who popularized the whole GI thing), “Many readers have asked where they can buy ‘Bangladeshi rice BR16’ a long-grain, white rice with a GIsof 39 that’s posted in the GI database. First the bad news. We have checked with numerous international rice suppliers and sadly no one can identify a commercial branded product of this rice you can buy.” This was in Sept 2006, though.

They also recommend basmati, Doongara Clever Rice™ or Moolgiri rice, but the last two are only available in Australia.

Is Basmati rice left in it’s natural state? I’m wondering since white rice is stripped of nutrients, is Basmati also stripped of any nutrients?

Dear readers,
kindly be informed of the following facts about unpolished rice [ brown rice/ parboiled rice/ so-called modified and enriched rice/ ] : it has about 2.6 gms % of fiber compared to about 0.4 gms % in polished varieties [ the myriad benefits derived from adequate fiber intake]; higher protein levels compared to polished varieties; availability of several fat-soluble vitamins chiefly thiamine (vb1); beneficial minerals like calcium, magnesium, potassium, chromium, vanadium,zinc, copper, etc (major portion discarded during refining process); orizanol, a natural PUFA acid found in rice bran which has a beneficial effect on cholesterol management .
As life is following a fast pace, nutrients are discarded at many steps of food production, consumed persistently over many years [ all the more ideal for diabetics who are in a narrow spectrum of food choices] shall decide on the good- health path or ill- health path depending on your food choice.
Be wise, choose the most nutrient dense foods as a nutritional insurance.

I am rather surprised that the author thinks that brown rice tastes “horrible.” I find it delicious and flavorful, much more delicious than white rice, which I personally consider bland. Perhaps he is either purchasing an inferior quality rice or preparing it improperly. If you buy bulk organic short-grain brown rice in a natural foods store, then cook it with spring water, ration 2 cups of water to 1 cup of rice, with 1/4 tsp salt, you will get a delicious batch of brown rice. Boil 2 cups of water in a heavy pot, add the salt, add the rice, cover, and boil for 3 minutes at a high boil, then lower the heat to very low, cook for 45 mins to 1 hour (till all water is absorbed), and yum!
