There are four different types of brown rice ? short grain, medium grain, long grain and light brown ? and each takes a different amount of times to cook. White rice, unlike brown rice, has the bran and germ removed; and has different nutritional content. Brown rice is a whole grain and a good source of magnesium, phosphorus, selenium, thiamine, niacin, vitamin B6, and manganese, and is high in fiber.
