Is red rice a whole grain?
Posted Friday, September 23, 2011 at 11:03 AM

Is red rice a whole grain like brown rice? I am so tempted to buy it but if the fiber is stripped off, no use!

Thanks!

If it is just "red rice" and not "red yeast rice" then it should be a whole food, husk and all. Red yeast rice is a fermented grain and a completely different ball game, I believe.
