Sunrice Brown Rice

A whole grain with bran and germ intact, it is richer nutritionally than white rice. Its fibre content – 3.9g/100g (compared to less than 0.1g for white rice) – means it is slow to digest, fills us for longer and maintains even blood sugar levels. At $3.35 per 1kg bag, it is slightly more expensive than white long grain, but the significantly better nutrition is worth the additional cost.

Best – least processed, richest in nutrients and promotes even blood sugar.
