COMPOSITION OF A RICE GRAIN

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

The rice hull is a real defense against external aggressions. It helps protect the grain, preserve its nutritional qualities, and extend its conservation.
