Brown rice is a nutrient-rich whole grain and staple in many cuisines, particularly in Asian, Indian, and Latin American dishes. Unlike white rice, its bran and germ layers remain intact, preserving more vitamins, minerals, and fiber. Packed with magnesium, manganese, and selenium, brown rice supports bone health, metabolism, and antioxidant defense. It is also a natural source of energy-boosting carbohydrates and plant-based protein. Its high fiber content aids digestion, helps regulate blood sugar, and promotes feelings of fullness, making it a popular choice for weight management. While naturally gluten-free, it contains slightly more arsenic than white rice, so balance and preparation methods, such as rinsing or soaking, can be beneficial. Brown rice's nutty flavor and chewy texture make it a versatile ingredient in pilafs, stir-fries, soups, and bowls. For optimal nutrition, enjoy it as part of a varied, balanced diet.
