Rice is a fundamental staple food for over half the world's population. It provides a good source of energy through complex carbohydrates and contains small amounts of protein. White rice has been milled to remove the bran and germ, while brown rice retains these nutritious parts. Rice is naturally gluten-free and easy to digest.

Polyphenols & Antinutrients

Antinutrients (e.g. phytic acid, oxalates, tannins) are plant compounds that can reduce absorption of some minerals (iron, zinc, calcium). They are often beneficial in moderation (e.g. polyphenols are antioxidants). Soaking, fermenting, or pairing with vitamin C can improve mineral absorption.

Beneficial compounds that may reduce absorption of some minerals (iron, zinc, calcium, magnesium). Consider pairing with vitamin C or consuming separately from mineral-rich meals to improve absorption.
