Love rice? Choose brown rice.


We always recommend replacing white rice, in your diet, with brown rice. White rice is brown rice that has had essential nutrients removed when processed in order to make it easier and faster to cook, and to give it a longer shelf life. This is accomplished by removing the bran, and with it, minerals and vitamins that are necessary in our diet.

Brown rice is an excellent source of magnesium, iron, selenium, manganese, and the vitamins B1, B2, B3, and B6. Brown rice is a good source of dietary fiber and protein and is far less glutinous. It is the least allergenic of all the varieties and is excellent for the nervous and digestive systems. It also has an exfoliating effect on your gut wall.
