Rice is one of the most important nutrients in the world. It has been an important place in countries like Japan and India for thousands of years, and
it is still difficult to discuss its potential in modern kitchens.
But is rice healthy? Well, it depends on who you are asking, and what kind
of rice you are asking about. There are two types of rice in your brain: brown
rice and white rice. Brown rice is a very good grain, and it has three parts:
bran (outer layer), gums (small bran), and endosperm (starchy part of the
grain). In brown rice, bran and gums are surrounded for their fiber and
nutrients.
"White rice has run out of bran and guilt," says Patricia Benn, a dietitian based in MS, RDN, Los Angeles. It mainly releases endosperm, which can provide significant amounts of protein and fiber.
