Brown long-grain rice: Brown rice has the germ and bran intact, making it rich in fiber, minerals, and vitamins. Most rices are available in white or brown varieties, but as it is a whole grain, brown rice is considered a healthier choice than white. Long-grain brown rice is high in amylose, resulting in a firmer, more absorbent kernel when cooked. Cooked long-grain rices are therefore fluffier than short-grain rices.
