Wikipedia

  1. Brown rice

    Brown rice is a whole grain rice with the inedible outer hull removed. This kind of rice sheds its outer hull or husk but the bran and germ layer remain on, constituting the brown or tan colour of rice. White rice is the same grain without the hull, the bran layer, and the cereal germ. Red rice, gold rice, and black rice (also called purple rice) are all whole rices with differently pigmented outer layers.

  1. brown rice

    Brown rice is a whole grain rice with only the outer hull removed, leaving the nutrient-dense bran and germ layers. It is unpolished and hence retains its natural color, which is typically brown. Compared to white rice, it takes longer to cook and has a chewier texture, but it is known to be higher in fiber, vitamins, and minerals.

Wikidata

  1. Brown rice

    Brown rice, unmilled or partly milled rice, is a kind of whole, natural grain. It has a mild nutty flavor, and is chewier and more nutritious than white rice, but goes rancid more quickly because the germ—which is removed to make white rice—contains fats that can spoil. Any rice, including long-grain, short-grain, or sticky rice, may be eaten as brown rice. In much of Asia, brown rice is associated with poverty and wartime shortages, and in the past was rarely eaten except by the sick, the elderly and as a cure for constipation. This traditionally denigrated kind of rice is often now more expensive than common white rice, partly due to its relatively low supply and difficulty of storage and transport.
