Brown Rice : An Overview

A Paddy Grain

Today, almost all Rice we eat are fully polished rice. Polished rice is one in which outer bran is completely removed to make the rice look white. Traditional rice vary in colors from red, black, purple, orange and even green. Outer layer of rice called bran. This layer is very rich in nutritions that are essential for our body. But, today, outer bran is removed to make the rice look white and thin. Hybrid rice we eat are inherently low nutritious. Polishing and removing the outer bran makes our rice very poor at nutrition leading to to a nutrition crisis for our body. This become worse when we use synthetic chemicals for farming.

The outer bran of rice removed in milling, is collected and processed to make Rice Bran Oil. This oil is being advertised as nutritious and healthy. People believe it. Why not take the brown rice which has outer bran layer intact instead of rice bran oil?

As a solution to all these problems, we have cultivated traditional rices in our farm without any chemicals and process them with outer bran layer of rice intact to give you traditional brown rice.
