Cooked white rice. White rice is milled rice that has had its husk, bran, and germ removed. This alters the flavor, texture and appearance of the rice and helps prevent spoilage, extend its storage life, and makes it easier to digest. After milling , the rice is polished, resulting in a seed with a bright, white, shiny appearance.
White sugars produced from sugar cane and sugar beet are chemically indistinguishable: it is possible, however, to identify its origin through a carbon-13 analysis. [ 1 ] White sugar (and some brown sugar) produced from sugar cane may be refined using bone char by a few sugar cane refiners. [ 3 ]
Cooked white rice is 69% water, 29% carbohydrates, 2% protein, and contains negligible fat (table). In a reference serving of 100 grams (3.5 oz), cooked white rice provides 130 calories of food energy, and contains moderate levels of manganese (18% DV), with no other micronutrients in significant content (all less than 10% of the Daily Value).

Brown rice does have more fiber, fat and a touch more protein than white rice because of the way it’s processed. Whole grains are made of three parts: the germ, bran and endosperm.

Sugarcane accounts for 79% of sugar produced globally (most of the rest is made from sugar beets). About 70% of the sugar produced comes from Saccharum officinarum and its hybrids. [7] All sugarcane species can interbreed, and the major commercial cultivars are complex hybrids. [8] White sugar is
Parboiling drives nutrients, especially thiamine, from the bran to the endosperm, hence parboiled white rice is mostly nutritionally similar to brown rice. [5] [6] Given the pale tan color that results from these bran components, parboiled rice is sometimes called saffron sella.
