basmati rice

[dsl]

is basmati rice comparable to brown rice in nutritional quality?

also, i think the mods should add a recipe section

[UNDERTAKER]

I am pretty sure they are comparable and I like the suggestion about having a recipe section.

Good idea on the Recipe Section.

Basmati rice has a higher GI value.

Basmati is white rice, its just has long grain, and its high in GI. but dam i love it, it a guilty pleasure.

Pretty much everywhere I've read is that Basmati has a GI of 58 and Brown rice has a GI of 55 - it's very, very close to Brown rice.
