WHAT VITAMINS ARE THERE IN RICE? A REVIEW BY NUTRITION PROFESSIONALS

Expert opinion from Livia Dickson Chen

PhD in Nutrition · 11 years of experience · Brazil

The vitamins naturally present in rice are vitamin E, vitamin B6, niacin, pantothenic acid, riboflavin, thiamine (vitamin B1), and folate. These vitamins are found in the bran, so when the rice is processed this bran is removed and what is left is white rice rich in starch and poor in nutrients. That's why brown rice is more nutritious and suitable for consumption. In addition, there is the fortification of rice that makes it more nutritious, being able to prevent nutritional deficiencies in populations that have rice as the basis of their diet.
