    Brown rice is basically the white rice with the barn. It has a slightly nutty flavor and is chewier than white rice. Brown rice contains more fiber than the white rice and is considered a whole grain. Brown rice takes longer to cook, it can be soaked prior, to reduce cooking time. Nutrients like magnesium, zinc and manganese are higher in brown rice. Brown rice can be had regularly keeping in mind you don’t exceed the calorie limit. If you are a regular rice eater, I would say brown rice is healthier than white rice.

    When compared to white rice, brown rice is little more nutritional & contains good amount of fibers, b-vitamins. So you have two-three times in a day. But brown rice takes longer time to cook so before cooking the brown rice, soak it for 30-60mins.

    As there is no limitation of having brown rice. As there is lots more benefits in having brown rice.Brown rice is an excellent source of magnesium, iron, selenium, manganese, and the vitamins B1, B2, B3, and B6. Brown rice is a good source of dietary fiber, protein, and gamma-oryzanol.brown rice packs a double punch by being a concentrated source of the fiber needed to minimize the amount of time cancer-causing substances spend in contact with colon cells, and being a very good source of selenium, a trace mineral that has been shown to substantially reduce the risk of colon cancer.
