Will the rice I donate make a difference?

FreeRice: FAQ
The rice you donate makes a huge difference to the person who receives it.

What's the difference between white rice and brown rice?

No Weight Gain Cookbooks / Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
There is all the difference in the world. White rice has been processed and refined which strips the rice of all nutrition. It makes the cooked rice soft, fluffy, and pleasant to eat. "Enriched" white rice is a joke. The manufacturer has replaced some vitamins in the rice, but it is not the same as the original. Eating white rice has a negative effect on most bodies. Whole grain brown rice is just what it implies.
