Rice is the world's leading cereal consumed. It is part of the starchy family and provides 20% of energy needs. The benefits of rice on the body are multiple: it does not make people fat, it is a source of fibre, vitamins (B1, B3 and B5) and minerals (potassium, magnesium, phosphorus), it allows a better absorption and assimilation of nutrients but also to reduce the consumption of saturated fats etc. Ideal food to be careful with your figure, it offers a fast satiety power and facilitates digestion because it is low in fat. In addition to these many benefits, it should be noted that rice, and in particular whole grain rice, reduces the risk of cardiovascular diseases, obesity, diabetes and diarrhoea, for example.
