Brown rice and white rice have similar amounts of calories and carbohydrates. Between 72 and 82% of the dry weight of brown rice is starch, of which the majority is in the form of digestible starch. Brown rice therefore has the lowest protein and fiber content of cereal grains but the highest starch and carbohydrate content whilst its energy content is the second highest, after oats. Due to the low dietary fiber content there was a delay before the US FDA considered brown rice as a whole grain. These are usually preferred over white grains as they are rich in fiber, vitamins, phosphorus, selenium and magnesium.
