Brown rice and tuna is a poor man\u2019s (read: millennial\u2019s) meal but we\u2019ll be damned if it ain\u2019t tasty. Chilli tuna in oil with a lil\u2019 bit of lemon juice and some ripe avocado? *chefs kiss*. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to our tuna bowls we personally go for brown rice, just because we\u2019ve gone for the affordable lunch option doesn\u2019t mean we have to sacrifice our health<\/a>, ya know? Brown rice is an easy way to make any meal more filling and better for us. But is brown rice actually the healthier <\/em>choice? How is it different from white rice? Have we been fooling ourselves this whole time? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

WE HAVE QUESTIONS. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"season<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Lucky for you, fellow tuna and rice lovers, we also have answers. It turns out that brown rice and white rice are actually the same grain. The key difference between them is that white rice has been milled more to remove everything but the white endosperm portion of the grain. Hence, the white colour. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In brown rice, however, bran and germ are also left in the grain. For this reason, people believe brown rice – and brown versions of all things – are \u2018healthier\u2019. But are we really wrecking our health streak by choosing the white rice over the brown rice? The white bread over the wheat? Not really. Allow us to explain: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, brown rice has more fibre and protein than white rice. This is good. But brown rice also has more calories, more carbs, and more fat than white rice. As far as numbers go, white rice is technically<\/em> the better choice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
