- ams6110 11y agoDoes rice really have many? Honest question -- I always thought of rice a little grains of starch.
- tracker1 11y agoThat's always been my take on rice too... as mainly a macro for carbs (or with brown rice, a bit of fiber).
- duvet 11y agoThere's enriched rice which has added vitamins. Washing enriched rice _should_ wash out whatever's been added. I don't know about other types of rice, but I've heard rice is supposed to be neutral to the meal, so I assume not.
- mikekchar 11y agoUSDA has a nutrient database. It isn't always completely accurate, but it is probably a lot better than conventional wisdom ;-) http://ndb.nal.usda.gov/ndb/foods/show/6568?fgcd=&manu=&lfacet=&format=&count=&max=35&offset=&sort=&qlookup=rice%2C+raw http://ndb.nal.usda.gov/ndb/foods/show/6568?fgcd=&manu=&lfac...
- venomsnake 11y agoProbably in brown rice (but then, they are packed in the fibers). White rice is as close to pure starch that we have. If you look at eastern cuisines that are heavy on white rice - rice provides bulk of the calories, but the real nutrition comes from fish, meat, legumes, spices, vegetables and so on.
