Description
Brown rice is food often associated with healthy eating.
Considered a whole grain, brown rice is less processed than white rice, which has had its hull, bran, and germ removed.
Brown rice only has the hull (a hard protective covering) removed, leaving the nutrient-packed bran and germ.
As a result, brown rice retains the nutrients that white rice lacks such as vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.
