Understanding the Link Between High Potassium and Health

14. Low-Potassium Food: White Rice

Though white rice is generally seen as a nutrient-poor version of brown rice, it can be the better choice for many people. Although it has had the germ and bran removed, it is fortified with nutrients, such as folic acid, iron, and thiamine, and low in potassium. Because it is lower in fiber than brown rice, many people find it easier to digest. People who experience heartburn or nausea after meals may find white rice is the best choice.
