Should We Eat Polished Rice?


By Liji Thomas, MD

Rice has been around for thousands of years and has supported a diversity of cultures in the eastern hemisphere. However, polished rice as a staple food has a much shorter history, having become a widespread practice in the 1970s only.

Polished rice refers to rice which has been milled to remove the husk, bran, germ, and varying amounts of the nutrients contained in them, leaving a starch-rich grain. In contrast, rice from which the husk has been removed but with the bran partly or fully left intact is also consumed in many pockets, and this is referred to as unpolished rice or brown rice.
