It contains a good amount of fiber, B vitamins (such as thiamin, niacin, and vitamin B6), iron, and zinc. These nutrients are essential for overall health and play a role in energy production, digestion, and immune function.

  3. Low glycemic index:  a lower glycemic index compared to white rice. The glycemic index measures how quickly carbohydrates in food raise blood sugar levels.

Fiber adds bulk to the diet and promotes healthy digestion by preventing constipation and supporting regular bowel movements.

The fiber, antioxidants, and other compounds found in red rice may contribute to lower levels of LDL (bad) cholesterol and triglycerides, as well as improved overall heart health
