Whole Grains - Rice & Wheat: Compare and Contrast. Edward Esko
Edward Esko, macrobiotic teacher and co-executive director of the Kushi Institute, lectures on the difference between two whole grains: brown rice and whole wheat. With brown rice, all the nutrients are intact after cooking. Whole wheat is most often eaten in its milled form - bread, flour, pasta, noodles. The milling depletes the life source and a lesser source of nutrients. As a result, you have to eat more of other foods including animal food in order to obtain the same level of nutrients. Western culture is characterized by wheat and animal food while eastern culture is characterized by rice and much less animal food.

▶️ RECIPE INGREDIENTS: (4 servings approx.)
1 Cup / 200g White Basmati Rice (washed thoroughly with water)
2 Cups / 1 Can (540ml Can) Cooked Black Beans OR Pinto Beans (drained/rinsed)
3 Tablespoon Olive Oil
1 +1/2 / 200g Cup Onion - Chopped
1 Cup / 150g Green Bell Pepper - Chopped
1 Cup / 150g Red Bell Pepper - Chopped
2 Tablespoon Garlic - finely chopped
3/4 Cup / 175ml Strained Tomatoes / Passata / Tomato Puree
1 Teaspoon Cumin
1 Teaspoon Paprika
1/4 Teaspoon Cayenne Pepper or to taste
1 Cup / 125g Frozen Corn kernels (you can use fresh corn)
1 Cup / 240ml (low sodium) Vegetable Broth **OR AS REQUIRED
✅???? (**NOTE - Sometimes one batch of basmati rice is dried than the other so may require more liquid to cook. SO ADJUST ACCORDINGLY)
Salt to Taste (I have added total 1+3/4 Tsp of Pink Himalayan Salt)
Garnish:
1+1/2 cup / 100g Green Onion - chopped
1/2 to 3/4 cup / 20 to 30g Cilantro (Coriander leaves) or to taste - chopped
OPTIONAL - Lime or Lemon juice to taste (Taste the rice first and ADD ONLY IF IT’S NEEDED, I have added 1/2 tablespoon of lemon juice as I like it a bit sour)
Black pepper to taste (I added 1/2 teaspoon)
Drizzle of extra virgin Olive oil (I have added 1 tablespoon of organic cold pressed olive oil)
▶️ METHOD:
Thoroughly wash the rice - a few times until the water runs clear. Drain 1 can of black beans. Set the rice and beans aside to drain any excess water.
(Use a Wider Pot to cook this dish, the rice will cook more evenly without getting mushy).
To a heated pot add olive oil, onion, red and green bell pepper, salt and fry on medium to medium high heat (depending on the heat of your stove) until the onions and pepper starts to brown. Adding salt to onion/peppers will release it's moisture and help it cook faster, so don’t skip it.
Once the onion starts to brown, add the garlic and fry for about 1 minute or until fragrant. Then add the strained tomatoes, ground cumin, paprika, cayenne and mix well. Add the washed rice, cooked black beans, corn kernels, salt, vegetable broth and mix well. Bring to a boil and then cover and cook on low heat for about 15 minutes or until the rice is cooked (but not mushy).
Uncover and turn off the heat. Add the chopped green onion, cilantro, lemon juice, black pepper, drizzle of olive oil and mix it very gently because rice is very soft at this point and over mixing can cause the rice grains to break.
(NOTE: taste the rice before adding lemon juice and add lemon juice ONLY IF NEEDED)
Cover and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. This recipe is perfect for meal planning and can be stored in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days.
▶️ IMPORTANT TIPS:
- Use a Wider Pot to cook this dish, so that the rice can cook more evenly without getting mushy
- Every stove is different so regulate the heat accordingly
- The Cooking time depends on several factors - the type of pot being used, heat of the stove, moisture content of the ingredients etc. so please use your judgement and adjust the cooking time accordingly
- Thoroughly wash the rice until the water runs clear to get rid of any impurities/gunk (it's an important step so please do not skip it)
- This recipe is for white basmati rice, if you are using a different kind of rice adjust the water accordingly

What's Unhealthier – Rice or Wheat? – Dr.Berg
Should you consume rice or wheat? Find out.
Vitamin B1 Deficiency:
Phytic Acid:
Timestamps
0:15 White rice
1:31 Brown rice
1:53 Wild rice
2:05 White flour
2:32 Whole Wheat
2:56 Wheat vs. rice
In this video, I want to answer a question from someone who wanted to know which is healthier: rice or wheat. Neither rice nor wheat is keto-friendly. But, I wanted to cover what would be healthier, just so you have the data.
White Rice
• no hull, no bran, no germ (pure carbohydrate)
• Glycemic index: 77
• It's enriched with synthetic vitamins – B1, B2, B3, folic acid, iron
One of the problems with consuming white rice is you're at risk of potentially developing a condition called Beri Beri (vitamin B1 deficiency). This is a neurological disease that can create all sorts of problems with the nerves, pulse rate, memory, and blood sugars.
Brown Rice
• Has no hull
• Has bran and germ (less refined)
• Glycemic index: 68
Wild Rice
• It has the hull, the bran, and the germ
• It has a lot more nutrition
• Glycemic index: 52
Wheat
• White flour glycemic index: 77—no nutrition, enriched with synthetic vitamins
• Whole wheat glycemic index: 72— has the bran, fiber, germ, carbohydrate
Wheat has more calcium, more B3, and zinc. Wheat has gluten, which many people are allergic or intolerant to. It also has phytic acid, lectins, and glyphosate.
Rice has less calcium but more folic acid. There's no gluten in rice. Brown rice and wild rice both have phytic acid. Rice also has lectins, and can even have arsenic.
Wild rice may be the healthiest option. But, if you're on the keto plan, which I recommend, then you shouldn't be consuming any rice.
