LONG GRAIN ENRICHED RICE

Long grain rice is a staple food that provides a good source of carbohydrates for energy. It is minimally processed, retaining its natural nutrients and fiber. As a versatile ingredient, it complements a variety of dishes and dietary needs.

Ferric phosphate is an iron compound used to enrich foods, helping to prevent iron deficiency. It is a stable form of iron that is well-tolerated in food applications. This enrichment is particularly beneficial in diets lacking sufficient iron intake.

Niacin, also known as vitamin B3, is essential for converting food into energy and maintaining healthy skin and nerves. It is commonly added to enriched foods to support nutritional adequacy. Niacin fortification helps prevent deficiencies in populations with limited dietary diversity.

Thiamine mononitrate is a synthetic form of vitamin B1 used to fortify foods, ensuring adequate intake. It plays a critical role in energy metabolism and nerve function. Fortification with thiamine helps prevent deficiencies, especially in diets reliant on processed grains.

Folic acid is a synthetic form of folate, a B vitamin crucial for DNA synthesis and cell division. It is added to foods to prevent neural tube defects in developing fetuses. Folic acid fortification is particularly important for women of childbearing age.
