Nutritional Information

•  Whole grain rices, like brown rice and wild rice, will be higher in fiber and vitamins and minerals, like iron, B vitamins and magnesium.
• White rice will not have much fiber or as many vitamins and minerals, unless it has been enriched, which just means nutrients have been added back.  Read the label to find out if it has been enriched.
• All rice is a good source of carbohydrates, which are necessary for energy.
• Unfortunately, all rice, even organic and whole grain rice, is susceptible to absorbing the metal arsenic from the ground it is grown in, which is can be toxic when too much is ingested.
