Rice is good for you

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.
