Rice Facts (infographic)

More than 40,000 varieties of rice in the world!

As we already have seen in the past, rice is the seed of the monocot plants oryza sativa (Asian rice) and oriza glaberrima (African rice) and it belongs to the same cereal family of wheat and corn (maize). More than 3 billion people consume rice every day, so this is the reason because rice is considered perhaps the most widely eaten food in the world.

Let's discover differences between brown and white rice! Brown rice has its bran layer intact, while white rice has had its bran layer removed by a polishing process. This is the reason because the first is considered healthier than the second for the big amount of nutrients contained in the bran layer.
