Relatively low in calories, brown rice has a few more nutrients that white rice lacks, particularly fiber.2 Not only can the fiber in brown rice potentially lower your cholesterol, but it also promotes feelings of fullness while providing you with sustainable energy.3 Since brown rice is a complex carbohydrate, it releases energy into the body over time to avoid the sudden crash you experience after eating simple carbohydrates, like refined sugar. A third cup of brown rice is all you’ll need for a great tasting, nutritious side dish.
