Title: Wild Rice, YAY or NAY?
Post by: HERACLES on May 16, 2006, 06:33:25 PM

Im eating some wild rice, about 1 cup a day, is this cheating? Should I be sticking to brown or white? I noticed the Sodium was high on them on the label..other than that, ok carb source?

Thanks,
 :)

Well, the sodium must be coming from whatever seasoning is with your rice.  Wild rice (grass) is right up there with white on the GI scale - brown is a lot lower.  However, the GL is much lower than white.  If you like the taste, it should be an ok carb.
