Description

Brown rice is a super whole grain which might be packed with a high degree of healthy components. The health benefits have been attributed to the high nutritional content, which may prove helpful against several conditions such as obesity, diabetes, digestion, and heart issues.

Most types of rice, particularly white rice, have a high glycemic index, basmati rice is much lower on the scale. With a glycemic index between 50 and 58, basmati rice is a low to medium glycemic index food. If you have diabetes, small portions of basmati rice can be a part of your healthy diet.

Brown basmati rice has more fiber than the white version, and about 20% more than other types of brown rice. Higher fiber diets can help to reduce your risk of developing certain types of cancers, particularly colorectal cancer.
