I went to the market today and was trying to buy some UNCLE BEN'S Whole Grain Brown Rice when i accidentally picked up UNCLE BEN’S ORIGINAL CONVERTED Brand Rice. Both of the different types of rice are brown, so thats probably why I thought i was picking up the brown rice. Well my question is which rice is healthier?

White vs. Brown
Many health fanatics automatically choose brown rice when selecting a side dish to accompany their meal. The fact is, however, that both varieties of rice are good for you. A cup of white has about the same amount of calories as brown, but far less fat. (.8 grams per serving vs. 2.4 grams per serving) However, brown rice is much higher in fiber than the white variety, with 2.8 grams of dietary fiber per serving versus .6 grams. Most other nutritional values are similar.
I personally prefer Brown Jasmine Rice.

Compare the two labels. The one with the most fiber should be marginally healthier.

Get the best of both worlds and mix them half and half.
