Generally acknowledged as a healthy carbohydrate option, rice is low in fat, making
it a great mealtime ingredient at any time of day.
UNCLE BEN's parboiled rice is a good source of phosphorus and magnesium - an essential
mineral that works with calcium to form strong bones, and ensure a healthy metabolism
and long-term digestive health.
As the obesity issue for children and adults increases, a positive step is to
introduce your customers to Natural Wholegrain Rice from UNCLE BEN's. These grains
comprise literally the whole of the rice grain including the surrounding bran which
contains fibre, carbohydrates and nutrients that are required in our daily diet.
Wholegrain Rice has a low Glycaemic Index (GI) value: such foods raise blood sugar
levels steadily, providing our bodies with a constant supply of energy. Because
such foods also tend to keep us feeling fuller for longer, they may also help to
maintain a healthy body weight.
