Description

El Granero Organic Red Rice is organically grown, meaning that no chemicals, pesticides or genetic modifications have been used in its production, making it 100% healthy.

Red rice is high in fibre. It is composed of complex carbohydrates that are good for your health. It helps control blood sugar levels. It has a low glycaemic index, which is a number that indicates the potential for blood sugar to rise from carbohydrates.

With a low glycaemic index, red rice plays a role in regulating blood sugar levels and insulin production. Consuming complex carbohydrates, such as brown rice, potatoes, and oats, makes you feel full for longer, as red rice gradually provides the energy your body needs to function.

It contains antioxidants that help counteract free radicals. It contains iron and manganese. Manganese is involved in the production of energy for our body, and is an antioxidant that can protect the body against free radicals, promoting health and preventing ageing and cell degeneration.

Benefits

• High fibre content: Aids digestion, improves intestinal transit and helps prevent constipation.

• Source of antioxidants: Its characteristic red colour is due to its content of anthocyanins, powerful antioxidants that protect against cell damage and combat premature ageing.

• Helps reduce cholesterol: Thanks to its fibre and antioxidant compounds, it can help lower LDL ("bad") cholesterol levels in the blood. Provides slow-release energy: As a whole grain, its carbohydrates are absorbed slowly, providing sustained energy and avoiding sugar spikes. High mineral content: It is particularly rich in iron, magnesium, zinc and phosphorus, minerals that are essential for bone health, energy production and proper immune system function.
