RAW RICE MILK This type of grain milk option is usually made from unpolished rice. Usually, rice milk contains more carbohydrates compared to cow's milk. Although it does not contain significant amounts of calcium or protein, rice milk also contains no cholesterol or lactose, which makes it a favourable milk option.
