Rice update

[dvandom]

Extra-long-grain rice: Edible, but a lot stickier than I like. Once I brought the dry serving size down to 80g I got acceptable (under 130) post-dinner (2 hours after) blood sugars.

Medium-grain rice: liked the texture better than long-grain, but got post-dinner blood sugar of 176 both times I had it. Nixed.

Basmati: Just tried tonight. Even better than medium-grain in terms of being non-sticky and firm. Also cooked in 15 minutes, compared to 20 for the other types (needing less water helped). Best yet, post-dinner blood sugar was under 130. Looks like Basmati rice for me!
