- Processing: Raw rice paddy is dried and directly milled to remove the outer husk, bran, and germ layers, resulting in a polished white grain.
- Appearance: It has a distinct bright white or off-white appearance, in contrast to the slightly golden hue of parboiled or "steam" rice.
- Texture and Cooking: When cooked, raw rice is generally softer and can be slightly sticky, depending on its starch content (amylose levels). It typically cooks faster than parboiled or brown rice.
- Aroma and Flavor: As it is not pre-treated with heat, raw rice retains its natural fragrance and is ideal for dishes where a distinct aroma (like in Basmati or Jasmine varieties) is desired.
- Nutritional Profile: The milling process removes most of the fiber, vitamins, and minerals found in the bran and germ layers. However, in many countries like the US, white rice is often enriched with a coating of nutrients, including thiamine, niacin, and iron.
