About Wholegrain brown rice

Wholegrain brown rice is rice with its bran layer and germ retained after the inedible outer hull is removed. The uncooked grains are usually tan to brown and firm, and may be short-, medium- or long-grain.

It is cooked in water until tender and is used as a grain side or ingredient in many foods. Cooked brown rice has a soft interior with a more noticeable chew than many polished white rices, and a mild, nutty flavour. This entry describes plain wholegrain brown rice, not a seasoned rice mix.

Rice variety and grain length can differ, and dry rice should be compared separately from cooked rice because cooking changes water content. Enriched or seasoned products are not equivalent to plain brown rice.
