Can we consume white rice?
We strictly do not recommend white rice as it is not wholesome food.
When we consume white rice, we are just eating the inner part of the rice, whereas the outer covering 'bran' which has the digestive mechanism of rice is left outside. It's like eating the seed while throwing away the mango.
See, mother nature knows best. There’s a reason why She gives us brown rice and not white rice.
All foods that come directly from plants and trees are wholesome - raw fruits and vegetables for example. They have not been subtracted of anything. Nature has given each food item a specific ratio of protein, fats, nutrients - so that we humans can easily digest and eliminate it. However, if we fragment it by consuming only a part of it, by stripping away its outer layer, or by squeezing the oil out of it, we are spoiling Nature’s original design.
White rice, sugar, oils, refined flours, refined wheat - are all highly fragmented foods. They have been highly altered from the way Nature gave them to us. When we eat such unnatural foods, they do not get properly digested in our body, leave undigested residue inside our intestines, leading to disease.
Instead of white rice, use other wholesome forms of rice such as brown rice or red rice.
