About Whole grain rice

Whole-grain rice is rice from which the inedible outer husk has been removed while the bran layer and germ remain. The dry grains may be short, medium, or long and range from tan to brown, with a mild, grain-like flavour and a firmer, chewier cooked texture than polished rice.

It is cooked as a side or base for many savoury and sweet preparations. Grain shape and rice variety are not specified here, and products may differ in colour and texture. This entry concerns whole-grain rice, not polished white rice or rice flour.
