which is healthier , potato or rice ?

Answer 1

Rice... if it's brown rice.

Answer 2

According to the USDA National Nutrient Database for Standard Reference, a small baked or boiled potato, with the skin, would have 128 calories, 30 g carbs, 3 g fiber, a good amount of magnesium, potassium, B vitamins and vitamin C. The one half cup of cooked white rice would have fewer calories with 97, however the rice would have less fiber and only the selenium content would beat out the potato. Enriched rice does have more thiamin and folate than regular white rice.

Both the white rice and potato are very starchy. Neither have any fat to speak of. I would say the small potato would be more nutritious than the rice.

Answer 3

Sweet potato or brown rice as opposed to their white counterparts.

Answer 4

brown rice.
if you eat the potato, make sure to eat the skin.
butter and sour cream and any additives are negatives.
also don't cook anything in water and throw the water away.
because you will lose the water-soluble nutrients.
so potato or rice, don't pitch any cooking water.

Answer 5

Rice - just look at the Asian countries, their main food is rice and they have the longest, healthiest lives and the lowest rates of obesity.

Answer 6

Answer 8

Both have starch, however it takes less caloric additives to make rice taste better, as long as you add them during cooking not after.

Answer 9

Probably rice - you want brown rice tho, which has the bran, the germ, and the endosperm.
