Milled Rice

Semi-processed brown rice can be milled further, removing its husk, bran and germ layers to varying degrees. This changes the appearance and flavor of the crop and, importantly, extends its storage life. This is because the oil that the milling process removes is susceptible to oxidation and degradation. After milling, the rice is polished, resulting in a shiny white finish to the seed. Milled rice is a an appetizing source of carbohydrates and protein, and can be enhanced with added minerals and vitamins to increase its nutritional value.
