Brown Rice Home Care Path LLC

Brown rice is far superior to white rice nutritionally speaking. Brown rice is rice as it grows, before any food processor has an opportunity to get its hands on it and make it in to something else, like white rice. Milling (remove husk and polish) removes much of the protein, some fat, almost all of the B vitamins and minerals. Nutritionists long ago recogniized the loss of thiamine in white rice contributed to the disease beriberi. Nutritionsists began to enrich the white rice with thiamine. A serving (about 4 ounces) of brown rice contains about 2.5 grams of protein, a bit of fat, 25 grams of carbohydrate, considerable phosphorus, potassium and iron, along with B vitamins chiefly thiamin and niacin. Combining brown rice with fresh fruit and vegetables improves the nutritional density. Fresh fruit and vegetables supplement vitamin C and A. Brown rice can be prepared and used in the family kitchen the same way white rice has been enjoyed.
