                                Though comprising only a small fraction of the total weight, the rice germ contains approximately 30% of all the nutrients found in a rice grain. Often removed during the milling process that produces white rice, this tiny powerhouse is not only edible but also offers significant health benefits that are preserved in whole grain varieties like brown rice.
