What’s the difference between white rice and brown rice?

[AGlorish]

I’ve tried to study out is it really better to buy white rice instead of brown.
Brown rice is got right after seeds of the rice plant are first milled with huller to remove a chaff (the outer husks of the grain). If the process continued white rice is created.
In fact brown rice and white rice have similar amounts of calories, carbohydrates, fat and protein. The difference between the two only lies in processing and nutritional content. But while producers are pursuiting nice look of white rice they lose several vitamins and dietary minerals when rice is subsequently polished.

What do you mean by better? You've already addressed the primary difference, nutrition. Brown also has more fiber.

Brown rice will go rancid as it still has the oils in the germ and bran present. So it has a shorter shelf life than white rice. Brown is generally trickier to cook well if you don't have a rice cooker. It takes longer to cook as well.

For most occasions, I prefer the flavor of white rice.

But I wouldn't consider one better than the other. Each have their uses and places.

If nutrition is your primary focus, brown is "better".

I absolutly agree with you.
I didn't want to say that one is better. It depends on what a person is going to cook, and what food he or she prefers.
