We find many rice varieties on sale apart from white & brown rice, we find also BLACK & RED rice. Brown rice contains more t hat double the iron than white rice, and although it contains the same calories as bread or pasta, it is more filling & hence we use less, infact for a risotto 50g is enough rather than the normal 70g portion. Black rice is an antique quality of rice & before in China it was reserved for the emperors, it is rich in ANTHOCYANINS, which slow down the oxidation of our cells, just like blueberries. Red rice comes from the Borneo & is excellent against “bad” cholesterol. It is rich in iron & great for our metabolism.
White rice instead goes through a refining process & is than whitened & brushed with talcum & glucose, after it is polished with vegetable oil & vaseline. It is therefore not a very healthy choice, talcum infact contains magnesium silicate which seems to have cancerous effects & the paraffin can damage the gastric mucosa.
