3. White rice
Rice is commonly regarded as a healthy filling side dish – in direct comparison with bread and pasta; many think they are making the healthier choice with rice.
The small white grains contain little fat and, unlike bread and pasta, more valuable complex carbohydrates that have a positive effect on blood sugar levels and keep you fuller longer.
However, the nutrient content varies greatly depending on the type of rice. This is because the vitamins and minerals are mainly hidden in the thin husk, which is removed from many rice varieties.
So If you want your meal to contain more nutrients and more fiber, it’s best to go for brown rice.
