Unpolished rice, also known as brown rice or whole-grain rice, retains its bran and germ layers, making it more nutrient-dense than polished white rice. Originating from various rice-growing regions around the world, unpolished rice is a staple in many Asian, African, and South American cuisines. It is rich in fiber, vitamins (such as B-complex), and minerals like magnesium, phosphorus, and selenium. Its high fiber content supports digestion, heart health, and sustained energy levels. Because it has a lower glycemic index than white rice, it can help regulate blood sugar levels, making it a better choice for diabetics. However, it takes longer to cook and has a chewier texture, which may be less appealing to some. While unpolished rice contains minimal fats and is generally healthy, it’s important to balance portion sizes, as excessive consumption may contribute to excessive calorie intake.
