　　Is the whiter the rice, the better the quality?

　　Rice has a lot of nutritional value. Many people think that the whiter the rice, the better the quality. In fact, this is wrong.

　　The whiteness of rice is related to the degree of removal of rice bran from the outer layer of rice. The higher the degree of rice bran removal, the whiter the rice, but the greater the nutritional loss. Rice bran is rich in B vitamins and dietary fiber, and rice germ contains vitamin E and polyunsaturated fatty acids.

　　In fact, people who often eat polished rice are prone to vitamin B1 and vitamin B2 deficiency. Therefore, the whiter the rice, the better.
