Rice is a common global food, it is the most common source of carb. It is grown, cultivated, and cooked in different ways. Every day, rice is eaten, no doubt rice rules the world. 

Amongst other types of rice, white rice is consumed mostly. This form of rice is highly processed and polished.

White rice is a good source of carbohydrates, other than that, it doesn’t provide other reasonable nutritional value. This is because its nutrients have been washed away during the processing period.

Due to this, health experts suggest taking brown rice which still retains all its nutrients after manufacturing.

Why is brown rice more nutritious than white rice?

Brown rice loses only its outermost layer during the manufacturing period. It retains all its nutrients even after it has been manufactured while white rice loses most of its nutrients.

This makes brown rice healthier than white rice.
