Brown Rice - Unimaginable Uses

The rice that is not polished after removing the outer layer is called unpolished rice
or brown rice. All the nutrients continue to remain in the unpolished rice whereas you
don’t find any of them in the polished rice. By polishing all the useful ingredients are
lost leaving only the useless Carbohydrate.
Thiamin is an important ‘B’ Vitamin. If it is not provided through food, the legs
become weak. Face and feet get swollen. Only 20% of this Thiamin is left in polished
rice. The same way 50% of Riboflavin, 50% of Pairidoxin and 75% of Niacin are lost
in polished rice. Thiamin is available in scrutulam (outer layer) of rice. Along with
thiamin, the most important vitamin E and proteins are also lost. Vitamin ‘E’ helps to
strengthen your nerves to keep glands healthy and to keep you young and energetic.
The brawn that comes out of the polished rice is offered as food to the cows and
buffaloes. They eat the brawn and give milk. Leaving the useful nutrients to animals
we are eating the useless Carbohydrates while resorting to vitamins prescribed by
doctors to cure our ailments that arise out of vitamin deficiency. That’s why we are
lacking the natural qualities and the natural feeling in us.
Cooking brown rice
Brown rice takes a longer time to cook and it requires more water. Better you soak
the rice for thirty minutes before cooking. Brown rice and water ratio should be 1:4
for cooking. It may take roughly 45 minutes to cook. Since this rice is thicker than
the polished one, a little quantity of rice gives more food. You should cook it soft. It
should be chewed properly while eating. Improperly cooked rice causes indigestion.
