Nutrition Bite:
Brown rice is whole grain rice with a richer, nuttier taste than white rice. It’s nutritiously a better option too, being high in fiber and because the nutritious bran layer remains, it contains valuable phytochemicals like essential amino acids, vitamins, flavonoids, phytic acid, and more. It is a great source of slow-release energy to help sustain energy levels throughout the day.
