Hi there it takes more water to cook brown rice instead of white as brown rice is a wholegrain rice.Being a wholegrain rice means brown rice has a more absorbent behaviour taking in more water then white.It may also take longer to cook as brown rice is more dense.

Should you take out water when you cook rice?

Usually when you cook rice it's cooked until the grains have absorbed all the water you have added. If you've added too much water then it would be ok to drain the extra water as long as the rice is tender. If you're cooking long grain white rice, use the ratio of 1 cup of rice to 2 cups water, then cook 'til all water is gone.
