n terms of nutritional value and value of production, rice is the most important crop in the world. For 3.3 billion people living in Asia, rice provides 35-80% of their total calorie intake. Although rice provides some nutritional value, such as protein, minerals, vitamins, and fiber, it does not provide enough nutrition to be a main source of food. Brown rice has more nutritional value than white rice. This is because the outer brown layer to the rice contains proteins and minerals.The white part of the rice is mainly carbohydrates.Rice can be stored indefinitely if it is stored in a cool, dry area.
