reduce carbs in rice?

Question

will rubbing rice together in water reduce the carbs? or is there any way to reduce the carbs in rice and pasta? thanx so much!!

Answer 1

Do some research-carbohydrates are simply any food that is not protein or fat. The rice kernals are MADE of carbohydrates, so there is no way to reduce them as if they were fat, sugar or sodium.
Besides-not all carbohydrates are bad. Complex carbohydrates suce as fruits, vegetables and whole grains are good for you. It's sugar and processed grains that can cause a sugar spike because they are quickly broken down in the GI tract and absorbed into the bloodstream.
Therefore, the real life answer to your question is-use brown rice, wild rice or another whole grain such as barley, quinoa or amaranth to get complex carbohydrates vs. "bad" simple carbohydrates. Same answer for pasta-use whole grain pasta.
