I notice people who buy brown rice might not actually know the differences between them. So here are some of my observations. For those who want to know more, please feel free to message me at Mysticattic78@hotmail.com
Brown rice is basically rice with the husk removed. After that, it can be further polished to change the texture of the rice.
Rice on the market usually comes in 3 types. Red, Mixed, White-ish. All these are considered brown rice, with the difference in how much it is *polished* after the husk is removed.
1>Red Brown rice. Contains the most amount of fiber. Most people find it too hard, too chewy.
2>Mixed Brown Rice. Contains different mixture of Red brown rice and White-ish brown rice. Moderate amount of fiber. A good mixture for those who are taking brown rice for the first time.
3>White-ish Brown Rice. The fiber is mostly removed. Soft enough that most people do not know the difference between it and white rice.
All are considered brown. The difference is in the amount of fiber in it.
