White rice has had the bran and germ milled away, and with them most of what the plant took from the paddy. It is one of the lowest staples for nickel.

Rice is the grain this axis has nothing against: in a survey measuring fructan per portion as eaten across 55 grain products, rice came out at 0 g, and nothing else in that table reached zero. That is why it is the grain a low-FODMAP diet is usually rebuilt on, and why brown and white behave alike here — the bran changes the fibre and not the fructan.
