Brown Short Grain RiceMilling is the primary difference between brown and white rice. The varieties may be identical, but it is in the milling process where brown rice becomes white rice. Milling, often called "whitening", removes the outer bran layer of the rice grain.What
does that do to the rice grain? Does milling affect the nutritional
quality of the rice? The answer to this question is YES. Milling strips
off the bran layer, leaving a core comprised of mostly carbohydrates.
In this bran layer resides nutrients of vital importance in the diet,
making white rice a poor competitor in the nutrition game |
