5 amazing health benefits of rice
Rice is Easy to Digest
Most people don’t know that whole grains can be hard for the body to digest (including most doctors) if they’re not properly prepared. The outer layer of all grains, including brown rice contains something called phytic acid which is an anti-nutrient and can cause digestive distress if it’s not neutralized. Nature does this when a grain (which is essentially a seed) hits the earth and sprouts into a new plant. Moisture, warmth and other soil conditions will naturally release the bran. Traditionally, cultures all around the world learned to mimic Nature by soaking, sprouting and fermenting grains. These proper preparations neutralize phytic acid (as well as other anti-nutrients in the bran) and make grains much more digestible.
