✦ Bran and germ intact: more nutrients ✦ Manganese and magnesium ✦ Lower GI than white rice ✦ Fluffy separate grains

Brown long grain rice retains its bran and germ, giving it significantly more fibre, manganese, magnesium, selenium, phosphorus, and B vitamins than white rice. It has a nuttier flavour, chewier texture, and lower glycaemic index than its white counterpart. Long grain stays separate and fluffy when cooked.

Preparation note

Rinse well and cook using the absorption or pasta method; the pasta method (boiling in excess water then draining) reduces inorganic arsenic more effectively.
