Really.

Germ rice is a kind of rice that retains the germ part of the 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 suggests, the so-called "bud" is the part that gives birth to new life. Its scientific standard name should be called "embryo-retaining rice", which is rice with an embryo-retaining rate of more than 80%.

Extended information:

After the rice husk is removed, it is divided into four parts: bran, aleurone layer, endosperm and germ. Germ rice is brown rice that has been milled to a lesser extent, with part of the aleurone layer removed, but the germ part is still retained.

Both germinated rice and germ rice retain the germ and contain richer nutrients such as protein and fat. However, germinated rice has better nutrition, especially the content of dietary fiber, minerals and vitamins are higher than Germ rice.

It should be reminded that brown rice, germ rice, sprouted rice and parboiled rice have higher unsaturated fatty acid content and are prone to oxidation and rancidity. When purchasing, pay attention to the production date and shelf life. When storing, pay attention to low temperature, dryness, and light-proof conditions. It is best to store in the refrigerator or freezer.
