Quinoa is unfortunately high in oxalates, and brown rice has arsenic…so my choice is regular basmati rice, I mix it with shredded cauliflower so that I will eat less of the rice, for eg, 100g rice + 50g cauliflower. Eat with one cup of green vegetables, some colorful veges, 3oz of animal protein, and a little bit of healthy fat like extra virgin olive oil or cow ghee or coconut milk…and you will get all the nutrients and fibre you need in a meal. Combining the rice with protein, fat and fibre will also lower the glycemic index of the meal and it won’t be an issue.
Red Quinoa is electric food. You must first soak it overnight to remove the phytic acid and anti nutrients. If you soak two cups, you must add four cups of clean water. and cook in the rice cooker, not forgetting to add some turmeric powder and black pepper. I do not eat rice as it is arsenic but red quinoa for lunch and dinner.
I was MISINFORMED ABOUT QUINOA. 🥺 I gave away 4 bags of Quinoa because I was told Quinoa was full of starch, and it was more Starch in it. Watching this video has really helped me. On my way to the store to repurchase my Quinoa. I would eat the red Quinoa or the yellow one. Thank you so much for this valuable information . Thank you so much
Thanks for making a clear and easy to understand video. I had quinoa instead of white rice with my meal tonight and I felt less full in my stomach but my appetite was satisfied and I did not get hungry later. The added nutrition and slightly lower GI helps, but I don’t know if it will help me lose weight which is my goal.
Try different types of quinoa too, there are white, red, black or mixed (tricolor) quinoa, when I was running my restaurant, I offered all these different types for people to try. Let's learn to Love Foods that will Love us back. Blessings, Dr Chan
Thank you for this comparison. The video highlights several metrics that are sometimes ignored in discussions of staple grains, such as accessibility and arsenic content. Any discussion of healthy dietary choices *must* include a consideration of what the client or patient can reasonably afford or find available on a regular basis, otherwise it is not a good choice for their health plan. Thank you!
Thanks for your insightful comment. Whenever my patients at my clinic or my students at my training programmes ask me, "Doctor, which diet is best for me?"; I would tell them, "Let's focus on getting YOUR diet better, in all aspects and to the best degree that you are WILLING and ABLE to." Thanks for dropping by my channel and taking the effort to leave a comment. Blessings, Dr Chan
This has made my day and I am laughing so loud So you are a medical doctor and a sept titled head chef in your own restaurant Im sure you are great at both But I’m just thinking if one day you got sued in both practices what the outcome would be How do you make time to fit both professions
I like how transparent your review is. In view that quinoa is more costly then rice in general, would it bee better to substitute quinoa with other food source to obtain that amount of body needs?
Have you done a comparison video like this with regular brown and white rice (non-basmati) as well? I'd like to see how all the rice types compare in a chart like this.
Wonderful information, clear and concise. Thank you for sharing!! I love quinoa and brown basmati rice. What are your thoughts on the types of quinoa, esp red and black quinoa?
Thank you and very informative.we have shifted to quinoa and avoided white rice.but once a week we try red rice which is good in b12 and has the bran on it
Quinoa probably has less carbohydrates per cup than brown rice, but it also weighs much less. One would have to eat more quinoa to reach the same level of satiety.

Organic brown basmati has less arsenic more healthy in it .wild rices are more vitamin and fibers.

Dr Chan, your video has very important facts, I have eaten all three types and fully agree with you.
Have you done a comparison video like this with regular brown and white rice (non-basmati) as well? I'd like to see how all the rice types compare in a chart like this.

Quinoa really is underrated and amazing 😋🍚
Quinoa probably has less carbohydrates per cup than brown rice, but it also weighs much less. One would have to eat more quinoa to reach the same level of satiety.
