A reader says she has a recipe book that makes
reference to "polished rice" and wonders what that is.
It's regular old long-grain white rice.
The outer hull of grains of rice is not edible,
and is removed when the rice is harvested and processed.
Under the hull, there's a thin layer of bran. Leave
it on and you've got brown rice.
To remove the bran, there's an abrasion process, which in
effect "polishes" the grains. That's how you get white rice.
