Summary
This product is a minimally processed long grain rice with added nutrients such as iron, niacin, thiamine, and folic acid, which enhance its nutritional profile. The absence of harmful additives and its status as a staple whole grain contribute to its high rating. However, it is slightly less nutrient-dense compared to other whole grains like buckwheat, which affects its score.
Key ingredients 5
NiacinGood
Beneficial ingredient — whole-food or functional value in this product class.
Risks
High doses of niacin can cause flushing and liver damage, but such effects are rare from food fortification.
Benefits
Supports energy metabolism and is essential for maintaining healthy skin and nerves.
Long grain riceNeutral
Long grain rice is a staple carbohydrate source with minimal processing. It provides energy primarily through carbohydrates. As a refined grain, it lacks the fiber and nutrients found in whole grains.
Benefits
Provides a source of energy and is easy to digest, making it suitable for various dietary needs.
Ferric phosphateNeutral
Ferric phosphate is used to fortify foods with iron, an essential mineral. It helps prevent iron deficiency anemia. The bioavailability of iron from ferric phosphate can be lower compared to other forms of iron.
Risks
Excessive iron intake can lead to toxicity, but this is unlikely from fortified foods alone.
Benefits
Helps in maintaining adequate iron levels, supporting oxygen transport and energy production in the body.
Thiamine mononitrateNeutral
Thiamine mononitrate is a form of vitamin B1 used to fortify foods. It is crucial for carbohydrate metabolism and nerve function. Fortification helps prevent deficiencies, particularly in populations consuming refined grains.
Benefits
Essential for energy production and proper nerve function, supporting overall health.
Folic acidNeutral
Folic acid is a synthetic form of folate used in food fortification. It is vital for DNA synthesis and cell division. Fortification helps prevent neural tube defects in developing fetuses.
Risks
Excessive intake can mask vitamin B12 deficiency, but this is unlikely from fortified foods alone.
Benefits
Supports cell growth and division, and is crucial during pregnancy for fetal development.
Processing
Unprocessed or Minimally Processed Foods
