Many people think brown rice/red rice/black rice is not our food. 😄 It is whole bran complete rice.
People loose interest bcoz it is not so good in taste as white rice.
Bt it is more nutritious and easy to digest.
Just try to cook it in interesting way.
*What’s the Difference Between White and Brown rice ?*
White rice and brown rice both start out as the same grain. But then white rice goes through a refining process called pearling. During pearling, the grain passes through a machine that rolls it and “pearls” off its bran, leaving white kernels. Once rice has gone through the pearling process, it’s considered a refined grain instead of a whole grain. Pearling changes the nutritional profile of rice, shortens the cook time and extends the shelf life.

Overall, brown rice is the healthier option. In general, whole foods are better for you than refined foods, and as we’ve determined, the pearling process means that white rice is no longer a whole grain.
