Brown Rice Nutrition Facts

Brown rice is a whole grain that retains its bran and germ, providing carbohydrate together with fiber, magnesium, phosphorus, manganese, and B vitamins. The intact outer layers generally slow starch digestion compared with polished white rice, but glycemic response still varies by rice variety, cooking method, portion, and meal composition. Store it airtight in a cool, dark place; refrigeration or freezing can extend quality because oils in the bran can become rancid.
