HealthyNHappy Exclusive - Organic Half-Milled Rice
Half-Milled rice is like the love child of Brown and White Rice. It's half-milled, so the bran layer is removed, but the germ is intact. This allows for the plump texture of white rice but with a little "core" which is the germ. Rice germ is the fraction of the grain with the richest nutrient content. Rice germ contains 95% of the total Tocopherol of the entire grain, a third of the oil content and most of the vitamins and minerals. The germ is only 1% of the total weight but contains 30% of the nutrients. Nutritionally, the germ is 40 times more concentrated in nutrients than the rest of the grain.
Half-Milled Rice is sort of the Goldilocks "just right" option between white and brown rices. If you're the kind of person who's always asking yourself "What is the best rice to eat?" Or debating between the deliciousness of white rice and the nutritional value of brown rice, then this third variety might be just what you're looking for.
Half-Milled Rice takes less time to cook than brown rice but must be washed 2 to 3 times with water, like white rice, before steaming. What's amazing about our Half-Milled Rice is that the taste is very similar to white rice, making it suitable for daily cooking, but it far surpasses white rice in nutrition in terms of fiber, vitamin E and B, niacin and calcium. Cook with slightly more water than white rice.
