Healthy afternoon,
Brown rice is more nutrients- dense than white rice. Because of this, brown rice may help reduce blood sugar levels and aid in weight management efforts. However, white rice is good for those with certain digestive issues who can’t digest fiber- rich foods well.
Brown rice, due to its small amount of oil in the bran layer, has a shorter shelf life compared to white rice and this makes brown rice more costly .

Compared to white rice and brown rice and red rice have little more nutritional benefits. But instead of Changing rice we can have add fiber and protein to the rice recipes and make it more healthy.
