Most Asians love to eat rice. Studies show that brown rice is healthier than white rice. Which do you prefer? I've tried eating both, brown rice is a little bland to my taste. Medically it is advisable to eat the brown one. As much as I would like to, but it's too expensive compared to the white rice.
What's your point of view on this?

Hi jeanne I too would have preferred to eat brown rice but is is way too expensive to eat on a regular basis. Also the problem I have here is availability. White rice is the most preferred variety and so most shopkeepers and grocers sell only white rice!

Hi jeanne94668, yes, brown rice is healthier compared to the starchy white rice. I actually prefer white rice because I am used to it but whenever I feel like I am gaining weight, I switch from white to brown rice from time to time. Brown rice is expensive than white rice because white is widely available than brown.
