Did you know?
Brown rice is simply unmilled white rice with the bran and germ layers left intact, preserving more nutrients.
The nutty flavor and chewy texture come from the bran, which is removed in white rice.
Brown rice was originally the common form before milling technology made white rice more popular.
It takes longer to cook than white rice because of the intact bran layer.
Brown rice contains phytic acid, which can reduce mineral absorption, but soaking or cooking reduces this effect.
- There are different varieties of brown rice, such as long-grain brown rice, short-grain brown rice, Basmati brown rice, and Jasmine brown rice.
Drawbacks ⚠️
Longer cooking time compared to white rice.
Contains phytic acid, which may slightly reduce absorption of some minerals.
Slightly higher in fat, which can cause rancidity if stored improperly.
- Brown rice has a chewier texture and a nutty flavor that some people find less appealing.
