What it is

Brown rice meal is made from whole brown rice grains that have been milled into a coarse flour or meal. Brown rice is a whole grain, meaning it contains the bran, germ, and endosperm, offering more fiber and nutrients than refined white rice.

The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated brown rice, but no specific health claims are typically associated with its use as a meal in typical food amounts.
