Quiz: Brown Or White?

Brown Or White What Would You Choose?

Carbohydrates have gotten such a bad name but how can you possibly expect to live an Ayurveda lifestyle without rice? White rice seems to have especially taken a hard hit lately and certainly you can’t go wrong with brown rice. Brown rice is certainly a preferred choice for me. For some of us it’s just a matter of preference. Regardless of your point of view you can get a good frame of reference from the article below.

White rice (and even brown) are getting a bad rap, especially with the popularity of the Paleo diet. Some are cutting out rice all together as its rumored to have little nutritional value and to cause weight gain, while others are convinced that only brown rice should be eaten. Ayurveda (ancient India’s timeless science of life) believes otherwise, and looks not only at the quality of the rice itself, but who’s eating it and when.

There are a few foods that Ayurveda has established as good for everyone, year round, and rice is number one on the list. No matter what your prakriti (constitution, as everyone is unique) and no matter what season, rice holds a place in the diet.

However, there’s a time for white rice, and a time for brown. Ayurveda doesn’t judge rice simply on its fiber content and calorie count as a Western perspective might, but takes into account who’s eating it, when they’re eating it, and what happens to the rice throughout digestion.
