HUMAN NUTRITION

Detailed explanation-1: -“Brown” rice is the typical whole grain rice, though this describes not a particular variety but the natural color of the grain. However, whole grain rice is not limited to one color-it also comes in shades of black, purple, and red.

Detailed explanation-2: -White rice is not a different type of grain, rather its name describes its color. White rice is actually brown rice that is milled and polished, a process that removes the bran and germ layers. Because nutrients are lost through this process, B vitamins and iron are added back in after.

Detailed explanation-3: -What is brown rice? Brown rice is a dehusked and unpolished rice produced by removing the outer layer-the hull of the rice kernel. This procedure helps brown rice to keep its nutritional value high. It is chewier as compared to white rice and has a nutty flavour.
