Sunrice Long Grain White Rice

Little more than pure starch, this variety of rice is quickly digested and absorbed. While it can be useful as a ‘‘filler’’ or sports recovery food for active people, it is not a good choice for people with diabetes or those who are above a healthy weight. This is because its speedy digestion and absorption by the body can play havoc with blood sugar levels.

Third – little nutrient value, can promote blood sugar swings.
