What is white rice?

White rice is not a type of rice. Rather, the term white rice refers more generally to how a producer has processed rice. Many different types of white rice are available. In all white rice’s, the producer has removed the outer bran layer and hull of the rice.

White rice is not a different type of grain, rather its name describes its color. White rice is actually brown rice that is milled and polished, a process that removes the bran and germ layers. Because nutrients are lost through this process, B vitamins and iron are added back in after.
