White rice or brown rice

Yes.

Rice starts off brown with germ and husks intact. Milling strips that away until pearly white rice is left. While white rice is less nutritious it cooks faster, gets softer and stores unrefrigerated forever. Brown rice retains some oils and will go rancid in about a year unless stored in freezer, which it seldom is. That said brown rice today has become more similar to white in terms of cooking time and softness. I guess it is getting a newer type of milling. Finding an old-fashion, firm nut-like brown takes a bit of careful shopping.

We've been using white Parish Rice for a couple of years

this...White rice tastes better, but brown rice is healthier.

There is no reason to ever eat brown rice. That shite is horrible

I think the word yall are looking for is more nutritious not more healthy. But like any food combined with other foods and in moderation could be healthier.

Brown rice is gross.

On one of my deployments the chow hall contractor couldn't get white rice for almost 3 months for some reason.

I didn't eat rice during that time period.

Black/purple rice is the best

Brown rice has a lower glycemic index than white rice, due to its fiber, slowing digestion. There are some beneficial nutrients you don't get in white rice, but it is also higher in arsenic.

Basmati rice has a similar glycemic index to brown rice, and if that is something that does concern you, rinsing/washing your rice will remove some excess starch that can increase blood sugar spikes.
