a whole grain rice variety with the bran intact, offering nutty flavor and chewy texture
Brown rice is a whole grain rice variety that retains its bran layer, germ, and endosperm, giving it a chewy texture and nutty flavor. Unlike white rice, which has had its bran and germ removed during processing, brown rice is a more nutritious option as it contains more fiber, vitamins, and minerals, such as B vitamins, magnesium, and antioxidants. Brown rice takes longer to cook than white rice due to its intact bran layer, but it can be prepared using various methods, including boiling, steaming, or using a rice cooker.
- I like to mix cooked brown rice with black beans, corn, and salsa for a flavorful and filling burrito filling.
- She cooks brown rice in a rice cooker and serves it alongside grilled chicken for a balanced meal.
