March Sale on Organic Whole Grain Brown Rice

Our Organic Whole Grain Brown Rices have the bran layer of the rice intact. This makes brown rice a much better source of fiber. A cup of brown rice has 3.5 grams of fiber while white rice has less than 1 gram. This fiber has been shown to reduce the incidence of some cancers, digestive system diseases, coronary heart disease, diabetes and obesity. Some of these benefits occur because carbohydrates from whole grains are digested and enter the blood stream more slowly as measured by the glycemic index. Removing the bran also removes much of the oil in rice. A recent study has shown that rice bran oil may help lower LDL cholesterol.
Rice can be eaten with any meal. See our recipes for nourishing Tropical Breakfast Risotto or Coconut Lime Rice Pudding. Rice bread is a tasty change and rice pudding is a perfect winter dessert.
