White rice has no nutritional value to speak of. If you like to have a good risotto occasionally it is alright, for the taste buds that is, but it is better to stick to healthy natural foods.

I thought plain white rice was natural. I remember hearing that it provides energy as do other carbohydrates like pasta and potatoes, but that rice provides it for more long-term activity, as opposed to short-term energy gained from these other carbs.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Brown rice is better.but I wouldn't be too fussed,its decent carbs.Same with pasta,brown pasta is better,sweet potatoes are better than ordinary,I still eat normal potatoes , pasta and rice , it's all good carbohydrates.Brown is just a healthier option,it's wholemeal and is supposed to fill you up for longer ,slow digesting carbs .If your having white rice just have some protein with it to keep you full like chicken or something.White is fast digesting,brown is slow digesting because it's full of fibre.Brown is supposed to be better for long term energy because it digests slower.

Thats definitely not true. White rice is a healthy natural food, it has complex carbohydrates, some protein and fat and vitamins/minerals. Yes, it has been processed more than brown rice and it will contain slightly less nutrients in general. So brown rice maybe a better nutritional choice but brown rice takes longer to cook and white rice tastes better most of the time. I dont see any reason to avoid white rice at all, it is a convenient healthy food source.

Instead of asking people who obviously have no idea what they are talking about, why don't you do some proper research?
