Some of those nutrients --including B vitamins and iron -- are inserted back to"enriched" white rice, but fiber is not added back, according to the American Heart Association (AHA).Brown rice is also a highly nutritious food. It is a whole grain that is relatively low in calories (216 calories per cup), high in fiber, gluten free and may be incorporated into many different dishes.
