How does white pasta have more fiber than brown rice?

Is it soluble vs insoluble?

Answer

Rice is naturally slightly less fibrous than other grains for a start. Also, different brands of brown rice vary massively in fiber content depending on the degree to which the wholegrain rice is refined. I’ve seen the fiber to carb ratio of brown rice vary from 1:30 to 1:5. So I suspect you are looking at a fairly processed brown rice brand.
