what is the Best Rice to consume daily?

I am not very knowledgeable about these things and am seeking suggestions. I was using HMT Wada Kolam in its raw form, but it's out of stock now. I don't even know if it was the best option, though the taste was decent and the grains stayed separated. I would appreciate some suggestions regarding the best type of rice to consume daily. Groceries online are filled with steam, parboiled, raw rice but I have no idea whatsoever.

I am open to trying any brands in packed form. I don't trust local shops as I was duped with low-quality rice in the past.

Thanks in advance.

Basmati is good for occasional use. But it has one of the highest GI (Glycemic Index) even in rice, so not great for daily use.

Brown rice is healthier if eating basmati daily.

Make sure it's Raw rice and at least one year old. Don't buy steam rice.

It all depends on your use case really.

People who eat basmati as a everyday meal are being taken for a ride.(genuinely no offense)

Basmati is an aromatic rice works only for pulav, biryani type one pot meals.

It doesn't have the typical rice taste when consumed with curries and gravies(only someone who has consumed other types of rice will know this).

If you want a rice recommendation, better ask your south Indian friend. The population lives on rice.

Don't eat any kind of Raw rice, if you or any of your family suffers from stomach issues.

Heard from Grandma, it produces heat which inturn causes stomachache and other issues.

Best rice for everyday consumption in my opinion is Ponni parboiled rice. It's available online but I don't know any brands.

Parboiled rice retains some nutrients that would otherwise be removed with the germ.

You can even make pulav with it and have passable results.

Other honourable mention is Sona masuri, it produces a firm grain. Too firm for my taste.

Please suggest some cheaper rice to purchase for daily consumption.

I was using NAFED, But no more available near me.

Tried 2626, Good in comparison to NAFED.
