Note that regular unenriched white is the third column from the left.

My obsessiveness is as tireless as a swarm of rampaging sea lions. I've
used the data in the above chart to come up with a nutritional %DV
comparison for one cooked cup of brown and unenriched white rice. Only
the standout nutrients are listed, as everything else appears trivial.

Nutrient Brown White
%DV %DV
------------------------------
Manganese 50% 21%
Selenium 35% 22%
Magnesium 26% 6%
Phosphorus 23% 10%
Vitamin B6 22% 12%
Vitamin B3 21% 4%
Tryptophan 19% 16%
Fiber 18% 3%
Vitamin B1 17% 3%

Though whfoods.com declares that "white rice is simply a refined starch
that is largely bereft of its original nutrients", the above stats show
that this is simply not the case. It deserves mentioning that one cup
of cooked white rice is a very small amount. In Asian meals at our
place, two cups is more like a standard serving, and eating 3 or 4 cups
is not out of the question.
