Difference between normal and brown rice?

Il brown rice it is the only one where the external part, called bran, is not eliminated. Bran contains important nutrients such as fibre, mineral salts and vitamins which are often lost when white rice is processed.

Il white rice, however, has been subjected to the elimination of bran and germ to give it a whiter and more uniform appearance. This processing can cause the loss of some nutrients, leaving white rice with fewer vitamins and minerals than brown rice.

Another difference is the cooking time: Brown rice takes longer to cook than white rice as it is denser and has the outer bran intact which slows down cooking. In general, brown rice is considered healthier than white rice due to the presence of nutrients that aid digestion and keep the body healthy.
