Question

diff. b/w rice and wheat​

Answer 1

Answer:

Although, both rice and wheat belong to the cereal group, wheat (Triticum spp.) and rice (Oryza sativa) have different sensory and nutritional properties and this article explores the key differences between rice and wheat. Cereal is an actual grass primarily cultivated for the edible starch components of its grain. Botanically, this grain is a type of fruit known as a caryopsis, and it contains three parts such as the endosperm, germ, and bran. It belongs to the monocot family Poaceae and is grown in larger quantities and provides more food energy and carbohydrate for the entire world than any other type of crop. Rice and wheat are commonly consumed cereals in the world, and they are considered as staple crops. They are a rich source of macronutrients (carbohydrates, fats, oils, and protein) and micronutrients (vitamins, minerals) as well as bioactive phytochemicals (polyphenols, flavonoids, anthocyanin, carotenoids, etc.). During refining and polishing process, the nutrients accumulated in the bran and germ will be removed, and the remaining endosperm contains mostly carbohydrate.
