COMPOSITION OF A RICE GRAIN

A grain of rice consists of a protective layer called the hull, several outer layers (the seed coat, nucellus, and pericarp) that make up the bran, the endosperm which contains starch reserves, and the germ or embryo.

The rice hull is a powerful defense against external attack. It helps protect the grain, preserve its nutritional qualities, and extend its lifespan.
