Carbohydrates: Both colors of rice are starches or carbohydrates. They will stimulate insulin release due to their sugar. Black rice has the highest amount of antioxidant anthocyanin of any plant. It also contains iron which maybe hard to get for a vegetarian without eating meat. Eat in moderation and enjoy all types of rice.
