BROWN RICE

Refreshing, detoxifying and with a mild laxative effect, brown rice is an excellent alternative to pasta for those on a slimming diet. The sense of satiety it produces is much greater than that induced by other cereals. The best recipes are salads and soups.

The high fibre content promotes intestinal regularity and is a preventative measure against colon cancer. Brown rice has a rough grain. For this reason, its nutritional value is higher than that of white rice. It contains approximately 8% protein, 2.5% fat and 3.5% fibre and has a high mineral and vitamin content.
