Rice is one of the most widely consumed staple food in the world. As an Indonesian, I like eating rice. My husband supports this, and he suggested to me to eat brown or black rice instead of white rice. Anyway, I want to have rice for my lunch today. And I need to buy rice first.

The price of brown rice is 50% higher than white rice. And the black rice is the most expensive one.

I love my rice (it is in my blood too as I am Japanese). We eat brown rice on occasion - and I don't mind it - but I do love white. They say brown is healthier - but I say white is tastier .

@Miss_Leafy I think white rice goes better with dishes . . . I mean, brown is ok . . . but something about the white rice that mixes well with other foods in a way that brown does not.

I believe the brown rice is good for diabetics but it is NOT good for the heart. So, I would rather be diabetic by eating white rice than eating brown rice and have unhealthy heart.
Unwelcome elements can lurk in otherwise-virtuous items such as brown rice and tuna.

@AkoPinay I know. You're just like Indonesian people . They'd die if they don't see rice in their daily menu.

Some say brown rice. But i think we the process how to clean up is matter. Many people assume they have to wash the rice before cooking untul the water is clear . That is a big mistake because the nutrition is gone

I don't understand the way people assume about white rice. When I was still in Indonesia , I never washed the rice until the water was clear.
