Key Health Benefits
High Fiber for Digestion: The abundance of natural fiber helps regulate bowel movements and acts as a prebiotic, promoting the growth of healthy gut bacteria.It effectively prevents constipation and bloating.
Prevents "Beriberi" (Vitamin B1): Modern milling removes nearly 80% of Vitamin B1. Handpound rice is rich in Thiamine (B1), which is essential for energy metabolism and preventing nerve-related disorders.
Heart Health: The bran layer contains Oryzanol, a natural oil that helps lower "bad" LDL cholesterol and triglycerides, reducing the risk of heart attacks and strokes.
Blood Sugar Regulation: With a low Glycemic Index, it is an ideal choice for people with Type 2 diabetes.The fiber slows the conversion of carbohydrates into sugar, providing a steady energy flow.
Rich in Selenium & Manganese: These trace minerals are vital for thyroid health and bone formation. Selenium also acts as an antioxidant, reducing the risk of certain cancers.
- Weight Loss: Because it is harder to chew and higher in fiber, you naturally eat smaller portions but feel full for much longer than you would with white rice.
