Many people don't understand the milling process of rice. Once the hull is removed, a brown rice kernel is exposed. If the miller so chooses, those brown fiber layers can be polished off to make white rice. The shorter the grain, the stickier the rice. When brown rice is consumed, it is chewy and has a nutty flavor.
Brown rice is recommended by health advocates as a means of vitamins and minerals.
This rice is the perfect addition to main dishes around the world. Although most of its vitamins and minerals have been polished off the kernel, most white rice is enriched to restore its nutrional value.
