White rice

Milled rice that has had its husk, bran, and germ removed

In food processing, white rice is processed rice that has been through a rice milling process, where bran, husk, and germ are removed from whole-grains of brown rice. Milling gives rice grains a softer texture, milder flavor, and its characteristic white appearance. This removal of the bran layers also significantly reduces its nutritional value as it removes essential nutrients such as fiber, vitamins, and minerals.
