Whole Rice Grain Anatomy - Hull, Bran, Germ & Endosperm Explained #122954 (License: Personal Use)

This detailed diagram illustrates the internal structure of a whole rice grain, highlighting the outer protective hull, the nutrient-rich bran layer, the starchy white rice (endosperm), and the vitamin-packed germ. Each component plays a distinct role in nutrition, texture, and milling outcomes-bran and germ are removed in refined white rice, while whole grain rice retains them for higher fiber and micronutrient content.
