Cook the Right Rice

Brown rice is DEFINITELY more nutritious than white rice. White rice is processed so that the bran and germ layers are removed -- this essentially robs the grain of its nutritional value because those layers are the ones that provide the most nutrients. Brown rice retains its outer bran layer, which provides six times the fiber of white rice -- and that’s NO joke. The bran also provides many vitamins and minerals that are lacking in white rice. Brown rice also has a nuttier flavor than white rice. In terms of cooking, it doesn't make a huge difference which way you choose to make rice. If you’re short on time and need to use the instant, that's okay. You certainly don’t always have the time to slow-cook brown rice, and it's okay sometimes!
