Cornmeal vs. White Rice: Nutritional Comparison & Fiber Content


Question
Could you tell me whether yellow cornmeal has any nutrients that are not also contained in plain white rice?  if so, which ones?

Answer
Hi Gerry,

Enriched yellow cornmeal and white rice have very similar nutrient profiles, with the exception of fibre. Cornmeal has about 4 times as much dietary fibre as white rice(when comparing the cornmeal and rice on a dry weight basis).

Hope that helps!
