Black Rice - How Many Calories?

Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Black Rice

• Metabolic Effect: Black rice digests slower than white rice, leading to a more balanced rise in blood sugar levels. Its fiber content promotes satiety and regulates bowel movements.
• Consumption Recommendation: Consuming black rice with vegetables and protein sources enhances the nutritional value of the meal and helps balance blood sugar. It can be consumed as a pilaf or added to salads.
• Things to Consider: Portion control is important, as rice is high in carbohydrates. One serving of black rice pilaf is equivalent to about 3 slices of bread.
• Exercise Equivalent: To burn the calories from one serving (approximately 1 water glass) of black rice, you need to walk at a moderate pace for about 85 minutes. This helps increase your daily activity level.
