Brown Rice

I bought some instant brown rice today. It only takes 10 minutes to cook. Normally I eat the brown rice that takes about 40 minutes to cook. Is there any difference between the two? Besides the amount of time it takes to cook.
 
Rice should take around 30-40 min to cook so I would think that it's lacking some nutrients. But carbs/fats/protein is the same so you decide.
 
If what they do to brown rice is anything like what's done
to white rice, then it is "pre-cooked", like blanching,
steaming, etc . . . then it is dehydrated and packaged
for your convenience.

You rehydrate it, cook it in less time because of the
above process.

The advantage is a faster cooking time.

The disadvantage is they pour off the liquid that was
cooked in (like pot liquor) so you lose some of the protein,
carbos, and calories and some vitamins and minerals. But
it is not uncommon for some vitamins and minerals to be
put back in (fortified). Plus it cost more.

My opinion, stick with the original unless you are absolutely
pressed for time. Tastes better too.

I agree with you,,,but if pressed for time..good option. Much better than no food,,junk food/fast food.
 
Thanks fellas....looks like I will try to stick with the regular brown rice.
 
have you seen this

**broken link removed** it taste better than home cooked to me, in only 90 seconds in microwave.

Good stuff. Tastes great, low sodium, 2 servings and QUICK!
 
Better glucose control

Brown rice is great for having a low glycemic index. It will not produce a large spike in blood sugar or insulin so it's great for bodybuilding if you really need or want carbs. Even if you mix white rice with protein the spike will be fairly significant.

I am not sure however if the quick-cook variety is quite the same as they may be slightly processed which could mean faster digestion- similar to how whole wheat bread is made into plain wheat bread which is actually then no different than white bread.

You can find glycemic index tables on the internet fairly quick. To be on the safe side, though it takes awhile to cook I would stick with the regular brown rice.
 
If I understand correctly, it is par-boiled then dried & packaged. I would think the GI is slightly higher but not enough to worry about.
