Germ rice is a kind of rice that retains the germ part of rice and the other parts are exactly the same as white rice. The most important central part of rice is the germ. As the name implies, the so-called "bud" is the part that breeds new life. Its scientific name should be "rice with embryo retention", that is, rice with embryo retention rate above 80%.

Extended data:

After hulling, rice is divided into four parts: husk, aleurone layer, endosperm and germ. Germ rice is a kind of rice grain which is lightly milled and aleurone layer is partially removed, but the germ part remains.

Both germinated rice and germinated rice retain germ and are rich in nutrients such as protein and fat, but germinated rice has better nutrition, especially the contents of dietary fiber, minerals and vitamins are higher than germinated rice.

It should be reminded that brown rice, germ rice, germinated rice and steamed rice all contain high unsaturated fatty acids and are prone to oxidative rancidity. Pay attention to the production date and shelf life when buying, and pay attention to low temperature, dry and dark conditions when storing, preferably in refrigerator or frozen storage.
