What is converted rice? Is ordinary Uncle Bens white long grain rice ( Virginia rice I think) converted rice or are you referring to something else?

Yes Uncle Ben's do several types including Converted Rice which is the same as Parboiled Rice

I use Morrison's converted brown rice which has 80% of the nutrients of brown rice but is only 110 cals per 100g whereas normal brown rice has over 300 cals. It has something like 18 g carbs per 100g and I eat 70 g portions. So a portion of this rice with a meal is 13g carbs and 77 cals.

Where Morrisons differs is that it takes ages to cook, 25 mins, whereas Uncle Bens is a few mins.

Hi Sarah,

Low-sugar snacks are safe since they keep blood glucose levels in control between meals, yet you can opted for fresh nuts.
