(we do see some change in the Philippines - wealthier people seem to be starting to understand the higher nutritional value of brown rice)<br />2. brown rice takes more time to cook <br />3. and finally, white rice can be stored longer. some of the good oils containing the nutritional vitamins in the brown rice will go rancid when stored. us5https://www.blogger.com/profile/14737175282110050879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-864298448748741983.post-85066361103893522532012-09-06T01:35:49.209-04:002012-09-06T01:35:49.209-04:00Arkansas is the 2nd largest rice producer in the U...Arkansas is the 2nd largest rice producer in the U.S. (second to Texas), and 60 percent is exported via the Port Of New Orleans.

It sure makes me wonder why rice in impoverished countries is not brown rice, with its considerably more nutrients. ?
