In its most natural state, rice arrives at our mill with an outer hull. The fiber and nutrient-dense bran layers cover the white inner part of the grain. These bran layers have a light brown color, and contribute a subtle nut-like taste and somewhat chewy texture.
Brown rice contains naturally occurring rice bran oil.
For increased shelf life, it is recommended that brown rice be refrigerated. Natural brown rice is a good source of whole grain dietary fiber which, as a part of a total diet plan, has been shown to reduce the incidence of some forms of cancer and coronary heart disease.
