Brown rice has a richer depth of flavour and is filling.  Brown rice and white rice are similar with the difference in the processing and nutrients. Brown rice is made by removing the husk which is the outermost layer of a a grain of rice and maintains various nutrients. White rice removes the next layers underneath the husk and therefore loses nutrients in the process.
