Different kind of brown rice
At the health food store where they sell rice in bulk, two containers are labeled "California Basmati Brown Rice" and the other one is "Long Grain Brown Rice"
Does anyone know if there's a difference between the two brown rices in nutritional values, equal in GI or is it basically the same thing just cooked texture preference??

Long is more fibrous, short is more starchyLong grain rice has a long, slender kernel, four to five times longer than its width. Cooked grains are separate, light and fluffy.
Medium grain rice has a shorter, wider kernel (two to three time llonger than its width) than long grain rice. Cooked grains are more moist and tender, and have a greater tendency to cling together than long grain.
Short grain rice has a short, plump, almost round kernel. Cooked grains are soft and cling together.

Thanks w8
The brown basmati was long grain as well, as a matter of fact you wouldn't even know they were two different rice grains if put together, same price too.MAX. Q
