Key Health Benefits
Diabetic Friendly (Low GI): IR20 has one of the lowest glycemic index values among white rice varieties. It releases glucose slowly, helping to manage blood sugar levels more effectively than standard raw rice.
Superior Bone & Muscle Support: It is naturally richer in Calcium and Iron compared to many other common rice types.Regular consumption helps in maintaining bone density and preventing anemia.
Immunity Booster: The parboiling process preserves Zinc and Thiamine (B1), which are essential for a robust immune system and efficient cell metabolism.
Excellent for Digestion: IR20 is very light on the stomach. The parboiling process gelatinizes the starch, making it easier for the body to break down, while the subsequent fermentation (for idli/dosa) adds healthy probiotics to your diet.
Skin & Body Strength: Traditional practitioners often note that the specific mineral profile of IR20 contributes to "body shine" (healthy skin) and overall core strength.
