Brown Rice

Rice was believed to have been first cultivated in China around 6, 000 years ago, but recent archaeological discoveries have found primitive rice seed and ancient farm tools dating back about 9,000,  For the majority of its long history, rice was a staple only in Asia..Not until Arab travellers introduced it into ancient Greece, and Alexander the Great brought it to India, did rice find its way to the other corners of the world.   The majority of the world's rice is grown in Asia., where it plays an
incredibly important role in their food culture, in some parts of the world, the word "to eat" literally means "to eat rice". 

The difference between brow rice and white is not just the colour.  If brown rice is further milled to remove the bran and most of the gem layer, the result is whiter rce, but also rice we are used to seeing, The result is simply a refined starch that is largely bereft of its original nutrients.
