The Healthiest Rice for People & PlanetOver the past 100 years, the nutrient content of American foods has declined significantly, in part due to the depletion of soils caused by chemical-heavy agricultural methods. The loss of vital minerals due to this soil depletion has an untold effect on our health. Additionally, a move towards hybrid varietals (sometimes called high yield varietals (HYV) that were developed to optimize yields, not nutrient value, has diminished the overall nutrition of food. This, combined with unhealthy eating habits and an over-reliance on heavily processed foods and refined grains has taken a toll on American health. The rise in chronic diseases such as heart disease, cancer and diabetes, as well as the alarming increase in obesity rates, are all indicators of this negative trend. Thankfully, there is a solution! Scientific research has confirmed again and again what common sense tells us: a diet rich in whole grains, as well as fruits, vegetables and high quality proteins, is an important factor in maintaining overall good health. Our selection of nutrient-dense and whole grain rices are grown on pristine lands, whose soils are rich in nutrients, making them naturally more healthful than other rices. Traditional and heirloom varietals are naturally more nutritious than high yield varietals. Agricultural methods, such as organic and SRI, that cultivate the quality of the soil enhance the nutritional profile of the rice. Our rice is cherished for its exceptional nutritional value, as well as its sustainability. Our rices are gluten and wheat free and are rich in vitamins and minerals, as well as potent antioxidants. Additionally, whole grain rice has been shown to be an important component of a heart-healthy diet. They can help prevent the onset of type 2 diabetes and may prevent certain types of cancers. We love fine food and are pleased to offer you delicious rice that will delight your senses and enhance your health and wellbeing. Our rices are a delicious and wholesome addition to your healthy diet. |
