Brown rice, duh.
And it has a better flavor - sort of a nutty flavor.

Yeah, I always preferred the long grain brown and wild rice more than the white stuff anyway.

Apparently I didn't eat enough of it to avoid getting diabetes,
but now that I have to be more careful with my diet, it's nice knowing that the brown is better for me than the white, even though I can't eat very much of either one anyway.

Same with eggs ... white or brown ... different hens, same egg.

I vote for white rice, the thick clumpy kind, not the thin grain thai rice.

Define “better.”

If you’re looking for long term storage, brown rice is inferior to white rice. It can go rancid after six months to a year. White can keep almost indefinitely given proper storage.

It ain’t the rice - its the bread. Soft, sweet, white bread, that tastes almost like cake. Especially Sunbeam bread.

Or at least, I suspect that’s how I made it to type II...

I’ll stick with my coffee and toast with real butter...

Add boysenberry preserves with that and I'll be over for breakfast!

(Next question from all the east coast FReepers will be, "What's a boysenberry?")

don’t Asians eat A LOT of white rice?

Yes but it makes their eye lashes fall out and turns them into techno nerds..........

Saffron is yellow. The rice is white.

I like brown rice.

You made a typo. I think you meant to say, I like brownies. Right. I mean, really, they are better than rice.

"chucks"???

Do "chucks" have long, floppy ears...
a big fluffy cottontail...
and lay their colored eggs early in the spring?

Here in Australia the nickname given to chickens is ‘chucks’ because of the sound they make .... chuck chuck chuck as they dig around the paddocks .... the border collies go and round them up when you yell ‘chucks’ ....

You know these Yukon eggs of ours some pink some green some blue
A dollar per assorted tints assorted flavors too
The supercilious cheechako might designate them high
But one acquires a taste for them and likes them by and by

The brown and brown with wild rice are good also.

The local ‘marts’ sell the standard whites but farms sell range eggs ... who knows what those chucks get into but the eggs sure are colorful .....
