Just curious what you think of Jasmine rice. Several people lately have told me they don’t eat rice but Jasmine. Is it better for you than white rice?

Mary… sorry. I’m just going through my inbox…. nutrient data for both is almost identical. The only difference is Jasmine rice is stickier than white rice. So, if you like your rice sticky (which I do) Jasmine rice is a good choice. It is not healthier for you though, as far as I know.

This sounds really good, and I prefer brown rice to white taste wise anyway. My family used to eat brown rice several times a week until I read that kids should not have more than 1-2 servings per week and adults should not have more than 2-3 due to the arsenic contained in it. We’ve since opted for barley as an alternative, and I wonder if this would work with that?
