Brown rice is considered a moderate-oxalate food. A wide range of foods, mostly of plant origin, contain various amounts of the natural compound oxalic acid. Your body metabolizes this compound into a form of salt called oxalate, which serves no known purpose in the human body. Consequently, more than 90 percent of oxalate is filtered out by the kidneys for urinary excretion.
The protein in rice does not contain all eight essential amino acids so it is not a good source of growth and repair for muscle and tissue. However if nuts or seeds are eaten in the same day or you have chicken with your rice, then rice is still a good source of protein along with calcium, magnesium, potassium, iron, manganese and zinc. Rice is also rich in B vitamins and helpful to the nervous system as well as an aid to stopping diarrhea.
