Wild basmathi rice, may be from India, I buy this in UK.

I am trying out wild rice, in the packet is says, for 100 g ,26 g carbohydrate and 0.5 g sugar.

I cook this in a different way, for 1/2 cup of rice, may be 25 g, I use two cups of water to cook in a small pot. when the water boils I add a lot of things, cinnamon pieces, curry leaves, black pepper corn,cardamom, jeera, large jeera , few coves, fenugreek and turmeric powder, 1/2 table spoon and little salt.

Very long time ago I used to fry the rice and species in ghee and then boil the rice.

I can eat the cooked the rice with salad. The full benefit is less than 1 g of sugar.

My blood test is in December this year, I will find out if there is any benefits,!!!

I have heard that cooking rice, then cooling it makes it into resistant starch which is better for blood sugar - think ive got that right.

In my case the is left in the pot to cool for 30 minutes before eating.

Please go for hand pound rice. Avoid polished rice at all costs.

Do you mean whole grain brown rice, barani19? I understand basmati brown rice is the best for T2D. Always best to buy organic brown rice as rice crops are very heavily sprayed with pesticide otherwise. Bit more expensive but worth it.

Sorry for not being clear. I meant hand pound rice , i.e the one whose husk has been removed by using a stone grinder or a stone apparatus similar to a mortar and pestle. It is minimally polished (low glycemic index, similar to brown rice) but still retains most of its nutrients.

Ive never heard of that - interesting.
