Milled Rice

Milled rice, also known as white rice, is a grain that has had its hull, bran, and germ removed. This milling process makes it easier to digest and gives it a longer shelf life. It is a staple food for a large portion of the world's population.

Milled rice is used as a carbohydrate source in many foods. It can be found in cereals, baked goods, and snacks, often providing texture and bulk. It is also used as a binder or thickener in some processed foods.

Milled rice is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a good source of carbohydrates, providing energy. While it contains some nutrients, the milling process removes much of the fiber and some vitamins and minerals found in brown rice. JECFA has evaluated rice and its components. Some research suggests that diets high in refined grains like white rice may be associated with increased risk of certain chronic conditions, while other studies show no significant association.
