Summary
This product contains cooked basmati rice, which is a minimally processed ingredient, but the inclusion of sunflower oil, a seed oil high in omega-6 fatty acids, reduces its health score. Sunflower oil is often extracted using high-heat and chemical processes, which can degrade its nutritional quality. The processing level of this product also limits its potential score, as it is not a whole food.
