Although white is a symbol of peace , white food is being dropped from the food list to be health conscious , adding red flour or rice. According to a report on a food and nutrition website that says that colored foods are more beneficial than white foods , the more the color of the food , the more nutritious it is - white foods are being dropped from the plate. Color means anti-oxidant , fiber etc. To match this idea, red rice wants to take its place on the plate again with a colorful look. According to research , red rice is more beneficial for health than conventional white rice. But there are differences. White rice: Fairly good for health. However, it changes the natural taste and appearance as a result of grinding and polishing . Due to processing, a lot of iron , vitamins , zinc , magnesium and other nutrients in it are lost. On the other hand, even if not processed, its nutritional value is not equal to that of whole grain or unprocessed rice. Indian nutritionist Taranjit Kaur said , " The high glycemic index of this processed rice increases the amount of sugar in the body. It has less fiber than red rice. ” Red rice: This rice is rich in anti-oxidants. Various studies have shown that the risk of diabetes , heart disease , cholesterol problems, etc. can be reduced by getting accustomed to red rice instead of white rice . Red rice is also useful in lowering blood pressure. As well as helping to prevent inflammation and cancer. Not all white rice is bad: exceptional white rice includes basmati rice and whole grain rice. Their glycemic index is relatively low. Digestion is slow so it does not increase the amount of sugar in the blood. Basmati rice contains vitamin B , camphor and magnesium - which help control blood sugar levels. Basmati rice is a beneficial food with the addition of anti-oxidant and anti-carcinogenic ingredients.
