Polished rice is rice that has had its husk, bran, and germ removed through milling. This process removes significant amounts of nutrients, particularly Vitamin B1 (thiamine), which is concentrated in the bran and germ. A diet heavily reliant on polished rice without adequate intake of other thiamine-rich foods can lead to thiamine deficiency, which causes the disease Beriberi.
