Why BROWN Unpolished Rice?
Unpolished Brown rice is a rich source of manganese, selenium, phosphorous, copper, magnesium and niacin(vitamin B3).
After milling and polishing the same rice loses 67% of vitamin B3, 80%of vitamin B1, 90% of vitamin B6 and 50% -60% of manganese, phosphorous and iron and all of essential fatty acids. The dietary fibre is lost too. The brown rice has a lower Glycemic Index and high fibre content.
In spite of its health enhancing properties some dieticians tell us to avoid it becoz it is not easily digestible.
Properly washed and brown rice soaked it hot water for a few hours might make it easier to cook and more easily digestible. So use it sparingly if you find it difficult to digest.
Listening to your body is the key word. But yes hand pounded rice is definitely a very healthy option.
