Question

We should always eat polished rice to stay healthy.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B

False

White rice is polished and pre-cooked or parboiled. The bran is also removed. The bran is kept intact in brown rice, and that bran gives you a healthy dose of fiber. Brown rice contains nutrients like magnesium and zinc. White rice has less amounts of these nutrients, but is fortified with iron and some B vitamins. Brown rice is the only form of the grain that contains vitamin E.
