Requires proper cleansing

It depends on you about what type of brown rice quality you buy. If you buy the organic one; you do not have to worry much about its hygiene. But if you have bought brown rice that is not organic then you have to wash it many times before cooking it. Brown rice is the unpolished form of rice and hence soil and other things very closely come into contact with it. These things have to be cleaned properly before you cook it to consume.
