About
White rice is produced by putting brown rice through a milling process, in which the bran, husk, and germ are removed from the rice grain, resulting in its characteristic white appearance. This removal of the bran layers also significantly reduces its nutritional value as it removes essential nutrients such as fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Milling leaves the grain softer in texture and milder in flavor. The development and spread of white rice over time resulted from historical changes in rice cultivation, trade, and advances in milling technology.
