What is brown rice?

Brown rice is the whole grain rice removes only the outer layer hull. Brown rice has a mild, nutty flavor and is chewier and more nutritious than white rice. 

Why is brown rice?

Brown rice is produced by removing the outer hull of the rice and this causes the least damaging to the nutritional value of the rice compare to white rice. Brown rice has more 67% vitamin B3, 80% vitamin B1, 90% vitamin B6, 50% manganese, 50% phosphorus, 60% iron than white rice. The aleurone layer of the grain of brown rice is filled with health-supportive, essential fats which highly susceptible to oxidation as exposed to air by the refining process. This layer is removed to let the rice last longer. So, the removed aleurone layer white rice is just a refined starch that is largely bereft of its original nutrients. Besides that, brown rice also is the excellent source of selenium, copper, magnesium and niacin.
