High-quality rice does not have any odor, such as sourness or other foods stored next to it, even though it is a strong absorbent.
What are the health benefits of rice
Rice contains B vitamins: riboflavin (B2), niacin (B3), pantothenic acid (B5), and folic acid (B9).
Not only are they essential for overall health, but they also play an important role in maintaining the health of the nervous system, skin, eyes and digestive system.
Contains vitamins B1, B6, PP, manganese, phosphorus, magnesium, selenium, copper, amino acids, fiber.
Brown rice is good for the body - it improves blood circulation, cleanses blood vessels, maintains blood glucose levels, stabilizes the digestive system, improves metabolism, and helps eliminate toxins.
Rice removes excess sodium from the body, and along with it excess water comes out, which is why rice is so useful for metabolism and weight loss, as well as for diseases of the kidneys and genitourinary system.
These same properties make it possible to use it in the diet of patients with hypertension.
What type of rice is the healthiest
Brown rice is perhaps the healthiest type of rice, because its shell is preserved, and, consequently, all the valuable substances. This kind of rice is more difficult to prepare; it needs to be cooked for half an hour longer, but it is a really healthy variety of rice for the body, which is recommended by all nutritionists.
