Brown Rice - Unimaginable Uses by Dr. Mantena Satyanarayana Raju
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. Benefits from brown rice 1.You don't put on weight.
