Rice is a staple food for Indonesians. Therefore, awareness of the nutritive value and the health benefit of rice is of vital importance. This study was conducted with the objective to evaluate the nutritional value, functional properties of rice, blood glucose response and glycemic index of the North and East Borneo native rice, such as the Red Mayas (RM), white Mayas (WM), red Adan (RA), white Adan (WA), and black Adan (BA). Proximate levels (proteins, fats, carbohydrates, ash, and water) in BA, WA, RM, WM, and RA are generally different from the highest levels of protein, fat, calories in BA rice. The highest insoluble dietary fiber in BA was 0.91g/100 g and the lowest is RA. The iron content in WA is 3-5 times higher than other local rice 14.48 mmg/100 g. The highest content of vitamin B1 (thiamine) indicated by RA is 0.38 mg/100 g, while the lowest is WA, which is 0.17 mg/100 g. Thus, the highest amylopectin and amylose content is RA, which is 69.09 g/100 g. Longer glucose is stored in the blood, namely BA and the five types of local rice in East and North Borneo, which show a high glycemic index.
