basmati rice

[mit37]

i recently purchased basmati rice but the color is white.... does that mean it has high gi carbs.....

Hi mit37

Unfortunatelty yes. That is a high GI carb. Just because it says Basamati doesn't mean anything. There are 2 kinds of Basamati white and Brown. Brown Basamati would be the slow burning carb you are looking for. You can alway exchange it.

White basmati tastes MUCH nicer.

jodi i couldnt find basmati brown rice....the only thing i found was basmati long grain rice but this was white.... should i just get regular brown rice that is long grain.. thanx for the help

Yes regular brown rice is just fine. Basamati Brown rice just tastes a little better thats all.
