Village Harvest Rice Nutrition Information

Village Harvest Rice offers more than rich flavors, textures, and authentic dishes. It offers the natural nutritional values rice provides for the body by importing its rice directly from its origins and maintaining all natural growing conditions. Rice is responsible for fifty percent of over half the world’s daily caloric intake in large part because of its universal nutritious quality. Beyond its rich taste and versatility, rice is cholesterol free, has almost no fat, and is an excellent source of carbohydrates. Rice provides the body with an easily digested, fast source of energy while promoting a stable blood sugar, which quiets hunger.

Village Harvest’s Brown Jasmine Rice and Brown Basmati Rice extend the health benefits of their white rice versions. The process that produces brown rice only removes the outermost layer of the husk, a process less damaging to the nutritional value. Although both white and brown rice offer many different vitamins and minerals, Brown Basmati and Brown Jasmine offer 349% more fiber, 203 % more Vitamin E, and 19 % more protein than their white rice equivalents. Brown rice has even been shown to reduce the risk of cancer, lower cholesterol, and encourage weight loss. So when enjoy the wonderful tastes of Village Harvest, you can also enjoy that you are promoting the health of your body.

Beyond the universal health benefits of all rice, Village Harvest offers Organic Thai Jasmine, Organic Brown Thai Jasmine, Organic Indian Brown Basmati, Organic Indian Basmati, and Organic Italian Arborio (various organic products); these are the only imported, organic rice products available on the market today. Village Harvest’s organic products are 100% USDA certified Organic at the sites in India, Thailand, and Italy. The full benefits or eating organic are still being explored, but research already shows how organic products improve not only an individual’s health, but also the health of the environment. Certified organic means no pesticides, no chemicals, and no toxins have been used in any way in the growth process of these products: chemicals that have been shown to cause cancer and other diseases. Organic grains have also been shown to offer more nutrients including iron, magnesium and phosphorus than their counterparts. Choosing organic also means choosing for the benefit of the environment. Organic agriculture prevents chemicals from seeping into the air, land, and water we use to sustain ourselves.
