Brown Rice 1000g VIVIO

Brown rice is the whole grain of the Oryza sativa plant, the same one from which popular white rice is derived. Brown rice is only stripped of its outer inedible husk, leaving the bran, germ, and endosperm intact. The flavor of brown rice has a subtle nutty note, it is slightly firmer than white rice, takes longer to cook, but also has many more health benefits than refined white rice. Brown rice contains more vitamins and minerals, is rich in fiber due to its bran, has a lower glycemic index, and is digested more slowly. Therefore, it is ideal for those who are mindful of their weight. It primarily contains: phosphorus, which is necessary for building bones and teeth; potassium, which is responsible for the proper functioning of the heart; magnesium, which protects us from stress; iron, essential in the cellular respiration process; and copper, which helps maintain the condition of our skin and hair. Additionally, this rice contains some iodine, which is involved in the production of thyroid hormones.
