Brown Rice,South Africa price supplier

Brown rice is whole-grain rice with the inedible outer hull removed; white rice is the same grain with the hull, bran layer, and cereal germ removed. Red rice, gold rice, and black rice are all whole rices, but with differently pigmented outer layers. Any type of rice may be eaten whole.

 

 

Brown rice is the whole grain with just the first outer layer (husk or hull) removed through milling. It retains its fiber and germ which contains vital nutrients. White riceis brown rice that has been milled to remove the bran and much of the germ, reducing fiber and nutrient content drastically

 

Due to the higher demand for white rice, it is produced at a larger economic scale compared to brown rice. This makes brown rice seemed as a premium product and hence making it more costly. Brown rice, due to its small amount of oil in the bran layer, has a shorter shelf life compared to white rice.
