Brown rice Fried rice

Yesterday I prepared Brown rice  which is a flavorsome and nutritious dish. Brown rice is nothing but,When only the outermost layer of a grain of rice (the husk) is removed, brown rice is produced. To produce white rice, the next layers underneath the husk (the bran layer and the germ) are removed, leaving mostly the starchy endosperm.Several Vitamins and dietary minerals are lost in this removal and the subsequent polishing process.So Brown rice considered as more nutritional  than white rice. So I made a point to include Brown rice in our regular diet.Rice is little bit chewy  but  considered worth when seen in nutritional point of view.
