Brown rice is a nutritious whole grain.
 Like all whole grains, it contains all three layers of the kernel – the bran, germ and endosperm. 
It is the perfect fuel for us with energy yielding carbs, lots of fibre and nutrients that support an active lifestyle: magnesium, potassium, B6, B3, B1 and iron. 
It also contains immune enhancing Vitamin E, selenium, zinc, maganese and copper.

• Researchers at Temple University School of Medicine’s Cardiovascular Research Unit have found that brown rice interferes with the protein linked to high blood pressure and heart disease.
• Brown rice contains essential oils which help lower levels of bad cholesterol in the body.
• Recent research conducted by Harvard Medical School which looked at women who consumed brown rice regularly for a period of 12 years found that they had lower weight gain and reported feeling healthier than women who consumed white rice.
