After rice is harvested, the grain is allowed to dry and the outer hull removed. The remaining germ and bran, which give the rice its tan color and a pleasantly chewy texture, constitutes brown rice. There are currently over 40,000 varieties of cultivated rice and each has a brown form. In contrast, white rice is rice which has been further processed and polished.
Brown rice’s nutritional benefits are numerous and well-documented. Brown rice boasts a low glycemic index and contains 7 percent of the fiber required for a 2,000-calorie diet. One cup of brown rice delivers 80 percent the average person’s requirement for manganese, a mineral critical to brain and nerve function. Brown rice also 2.5 times the iron of its white counterpart, and a rich source of selenium.
Brown rice is delicious in a wide variety of preparations, from salads to pilafs to stuffing and much more.
