Nutritional values

With just over 400 calories, your daily requirement of folic acid is already halfway reached, which is important for all growth and development processes. Pregnant women should try to consume more of it to protect their child from possible neurological disorders. Vitamin E and A are also abundant, which are anti-aging substances for the skin, heart, and eyes.

With its germination and edge layers, natural rice is healthier than white polished rice because it contains more vitamins, minerals, and fibre.
