IN: Red rice

OUT: White rice

Red rice has far more nutritional benefits over white rice that most of us are used to eating. Dr Jyothi Prasad, practicing dietitian at Manipal Hospital, Bangalore says, `Red rice has more fibre in comparison to white rice, as white rice is stripped off its fibre and vitamins during the refining process.`

And red rice is a safer option for diabetics too.
