Brown rice (Oryza sativa L.) is whole grain rice that has had only the husk removed, leaving the germ, bran and endosperm intact. Both the bran and the germ are nutrient-rich parts of the grain. Rice, the most widely grown tropical cereal, is considered to be one of the most important grains. Consumed for centuries, and a staple food of South Asia, it was once known as 'dhanya' in India, meaning 'sustainer of the human race'.

Rice bran contains essential amino acids, dietary fiber, fatty acids and trace elements while the germ is rich in vitamins, minerals and unsaturated oils. NP Nutra Brown Rice Protein Powder 80% is organic, gluten-free and dairy-free, making it a perfect alternative to soy and dairy protein powders.*
