Health Benefits of Brown Rice
What is Brown rice?
Brown rice is the same as white rice and it actually comes from the same plant. There is no “brown rice” plant and “white rice” plant.
Difference of Brown Rice and White Rice
The difference between the two colored rices is the process by which they are hulled. Whole grain rice consists of several layers. We end up with brown rice, when only the outermost hull is removed. When the rice is further milled, removing the bran and germ layer, that we end up with a whiter rice. The rice is then polished, removing the aleurone layer, giving us the white rice that we most often see in stores.
