Rice comes in different varieties, but the most popular types are the white and brown rice. Brown rice is a whole grain that contains the fibrous bran, the nutritious germ and the carb-rich endosperm, just like the wheat used to make wheat bread. It’s considered to be the healthier alternative to white rice, since white rice doesn’t contain the bran and germ parts.
If you’d like to cook brown rice, we’ll show you where to find brown rice in the grocery store, and the best brands to buy.
Where can we get brown rice?
You can get brown rice at the Bulk aisle. That’s where grains are sold in measurable quantities.
If you don’t find brown rice there, you can check the Grain section. You’ll also find barley and dried beans in that area.
If you have no luck there, you can always ask a store employee to guide you to the right aisle.

FAQs:
Can I cook brown rice the same as white rice?
Yes, you can cook brown rice the same way as white rice.
The only difference is that your brown rice will take up to 40 minutes to cook, and you’ll also need more water.
Meanwhile, white rice cooks faster than that, and usually takes about 15 minutes to be ready.
That’s because the bran and the germ have been removed.
Can I substitute brown rice for white rice in a recipe?
If you don’t have white rice at home, you can substitute brown rice in place of it.
The only noticeable difference is that brown rice tastes nutty and has a chewy texture.
But it’s the better option as it’s fiber-rich and highly nutritious.
Is it OK to eat brown rice everyday?
No, it’s not OK to eat brown rice everyday.
Though it may contain fiber, nutrients, and has been rumored to aid weight loss, brown rice also constitutes high levels of arsenic, which is toxic to the human body.
Also, the bran and germ haven’t been removed, so constant intake of brown rice can irritate your digestive tract, leading to bloating, diarrhea, or even constipation.
