General Information About Rice
Grains (including rice) are finally getting the attention they deserve
as they move into the nutritional spotlight. The new USDA dietary
recommendations highlight grains as an essential part of a healthy,
whole foods diet. With their impressive fiber, complex carbohydrates
and protein content, they are, without a doubt, some of Mother
Nature's most perfect foods. Rice has been cultivated for centuries
and has become a food staple in many homes. There are many ways
to use rice to make tasty, wonderful dishes!
Rice is grown on marshy land that can be flooded. It does not need to
be milled or ground — only the outer husk or hull must be removed,
leaving behind the rice kernel covered by the bran layer. This is
known as brown or whole-grain rice, the most nutritious type of rice.
Brown rice can be processed and polished to remove the bran layer to
produce white rice. Most white rice is enriched with vitamins and
minerals, but let the label be your guide.
