Brown rice

Brown rice is a whole grain rice that retains its outer bran layer and germ after processing, unlike white rice which has these layers removed. This makes it more nutritious, providing higher amounts of fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Its texture is chewier and it has a nuttier flavor. Because it contains the entire grain, brown rice takes a bit longer to cook and has a denser bite. It’s often preferred for its health benefits, including better digestion and sustained energy release, making it a wholesome choice for balanced diets.
