If you’re looking for an easy way to get more fiber and antioxidants into your diet, look no further than rice. There are three major types of rice: black, brown and white. Some of the distinct differences between the three are brown and black rice take a little longer to cook than white, yet they each have more fiber and nutrients than white rice. Learn more by checking out the infographic below. Black Rice Black rice has a unique flavor and a glossy ebony color. The outer layer of black rice contains bran, which is rich in antioxidants. These antioxidants are like the ones contained in acai berries, grapes and blueberries. They’re called anthocyanins; and they’ve been linked to cancer prevention, improved memory and a lowered risk of heart disease. Black rice is now gaining ground as a new “superfood.” Not only is it gaining fans in the kitchen, but researchers are now recommending it for its health benefits. Brown Rice Basically, brown rice is white rice before it’s been processed. The outside bran is intact, which means that it contains the bran fiber, minerals, vitamins and many other nutrients. It’s also high in Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids. Brown rice has been linked to weight loss and a lowered risk of diabetes. It’s high in fiber, so it promotes more effective metabolic function and helps to keep your blood sugar stabilized. White Rice Unfortunately, when white rice is processed the outer layer containing the bran gets removed. This makes for fast-cooking, but it also means that white rice has been stripped of its fiber, protein and other nutrients — so food manufacturers have to put them back in to meet FDA nutritional standards. That’s why you see the term “enriched” on the package. Click here to check out our selection of rice products.

Crna riža - supernamirnica koju je Zapad previdio Nekada 'Zabranjena riža' danas ima sasvim drugačiji status zahvaljujući stručnjacima koji su otkrili da obiluje antioksidantima, vlaknima i vitaminom E Crna riža u Kini ima status gotov svete hrane, dok ju je Zapad na neki način previdio. Šteta, jer znanstvenici tvrde da bi ta namirnica mogla biti novi član grupe koja nosi naziv superhrana. Crna riža ima malo šećera, ali je prepuna vlakana i biljnih tvari koje su dobre za srčane bolesti i razne vrste raka. Tim stručnjaka sa LSU-a (Louisiana State University) analizirao je uzorke mekinja crne riže uzgojene na jugu SAD-a i pronašao ogromne količine u vodi topivih antioksidanata antocijanina. Oni su zaslužni za pigmentaciju raznog voća i povrća poput borovnica i crvenih paprika. Dakle, oni crnu rižu čine crnom, da se tako izrazimo. >> Uzgojena riža koju nije potrebno kuhati Ovi antioksidanti čiste štetne molekule iz tijela, štite arterije i sprječavaju oštećenja DNK koja vode do pojave raka. Zhimin Xu, inače stručnjak za hranu, kaže da u samo jednoj žlici crne riže ima više antocijanina nego u žlici borovnica, ali s manje šećera i više vlakana i vitamina E. Logika je jasna - poznato je da su borovnice iznimno zdrave i ujedno vrlo popularne za jelo pa onda nema razloga da isto ne bude i s crnom rižom. Inače, prije nekoliko stoljeća ova je namirnica nosila nadimak „Zabranjena riža" jer su je smjeli jesti samo pripadnici plemstva. Danas joj je najveća uporaba kod ukrašavanja azijskih jela, sushija i raznih deserta. Prilikom obrade riže mlinari skidaju vanjsku sloj zrna kako bi dobili smeđu ili rafiniranu bijelu rižu koju konzumiramo i mi pored ostatka zapadnoga svijeta. Navodno je smeđa riža bolja od bijele jer sadrži više vitamina E i antioksidanata. Ali dr. Xu uvjerava da je riža crnoga i ljubičastoga pigmenta najbolja. Pored svega navedenog crna riža bi se mogla iskoristiti i u vidu zdravih prirodnih bojila. Nemali je broj istraživanja koja su pokazala da su umjetna bojila povezana s nastankom raka i problemima u ponašanju djece. Detalji istraživanja predstavljeni su danas na 240. Nacionalnom skupu Američkog kemijskog društva u Bostonu. Ipak, to ne znači da će samo jedna namirnica činiti čuda. Uravnotežena prehrana je ključ. A ubacivanje kojeg zrna crne riže u nju može vam samo koristiti.
