BEN S ORIGINAL Original Long Grain White Rice 12 lb

Enriched parboiled long grain rice is a staple food that provides a good source of carbohydrates and energy. The parboiling process helps retain more nutrients compared to regular white rice. Enrichment adds essential vitamins and minerals, enhancing its nutritional profile.

Thiamin, also known as vitamin B1, is an essential nutrient that supports energy metabolism and nerve function. It is commonly added to enriched foods to prevent deficiencies. While beneficial, it is typically consumed in adequate amounts through a balanced diet.

Folic acid is a synthetic form of folate, a B vitamin important for DNA synthesis and cell division. It is added to foods to prevent neural tube defects in developing fetuses. While beneficial, excessive intake from supplements can mask vitamin B12 deficiency.
