• Brown rice contains natural vitamins, including thiamine
• is a great source of carbohydrates- it takes longer to digest and contains more fibre than white rice, making you feel satisfied for longer.

–Manganese– helps the body synthesize fats. Manganese also benefits our nervous and reproductive systems.

– magnesium,

– calcium,

– potassium

–selenium– reduces the risk for developing common illnesses such as cancer, heart disease and arthritis.
