Contains germ: The biggest feature of brown rice is that it contains germ. Germ is a living tissue that is rich in nutrients. It will develop into a plant in the right environment. It can be seen that the germ has high nutritional value. Germ is not only rich in B vitamins and vitamin E, protein and carbohydrates, but also a large amount of fiber and unsaturated fatty acids.
Contains a large amount of zinc: Zinc did not attract people's attention in the past, but now more than 80 enzymes in the human body have been found to contain zinc, so zinc is recognized as an essential component of the human diet. The zinc content in brown rice is 16.4mg/kg, while that in polished rice is only 6mg/kg.
Contains a large amount of fiber: Dietary fiber is called the "seventh nutrient". The Nutrition Center of Harvard University has verified that dietary fiber can lower blood sugar, reduce fat, lose weight, laxative, detoxify, prevent pain, and enhance disease resistance. It can keep people's physical and mental functions in the best condition. It can promote the proliferation of intestinal beneficial bacteria, accelerate intestinal peristalsis, soften feces, and prevent constipation and intestinal cancer; dietary fiber can also combine with cholesterol in bile to promote the excretion of cholesterol, thereby helping patients with hyperlipidemia lower blood lipids.
In addition, brown rice contains high levels of trace elements such as potassium, magnesium, zinc, iron, and manganese, which are beneficial to preventing cardiovascular disease and anemia.
