How to choose good quality brown rice
- You should choose brown rice that is dark red or black instead of yellow-brown, as the dark red or black brown rice contains more nutrients.
- Choose long, slender grains that are not broken and not infested.
- In particular, when touching the brown rice, you will feel its smoothness and the shiny husk due to the oil coating outside; you should choose this type as it is still fresh and contains many nutrients.
- Avoid selecting grains that appear opaque and dull, as these have been stored for a long time and have lost quite a lot of nutrients.
