GRAIN NOTES · INGREDIENTS & EVERYDAY EATING
Brown rice
Get to know rice with its bran and germ retained.
Whole grain describes the grain
Whole grains retain the bran, germ and endosperm. Brown and white rice differ in how much of these components remain after processing.
Find a texture you enjoy
Brown rice can feel chewier than white rice. Follow the pack directions and explore mixtures and portions that work for your meals.
Colour is not a health guarantee
A darker colour or the presence of brown rice does not establish a low glycaemic index or suitability for every special diet. Recipe, processing and portion all matter.
