    Hi Kasturi,

    after removing the outermost layer,will get brown rice.

    The complete milling and polishing that converts brown rice into white
    rice destroys 67% of the vitamin B3, 80% of the vitamin B1, 90% of the
    vitamin B6, half of the manganese, half of the phosphorus, 60% of the
    iron, and all of the dietary fiber and essential fatty acids.

    The rice is little bit thick when compared to white rice...so needs 8-9 whistles to cook in a cooker...its available in Nilgiris....


    Regards,
    satya

    Satyasri has explained what it is.
    I would like to add a very interesting information about brownrice.Chemba ari (rice)or chemba aval(flakes/flat rice) if taken regularly by a family,peace prevails in the house!
    It is full of Vitamin B.....men won't get angry and shout, wives will be happy, children will be healthy and so Happy family!:)
    Vitamin B12 deficiency can even lead to optical nerve problems.
