As an awesome side dish or main staple, rice can be eaten with just about anything including meat, tofu, vegetables, and more! Over the years with the move towards healthy eating however, rice may have gotten a bad reputation, but is it really the big bad guy? The Japan Rice and Rice Industry Export Promotion Association (JRE) is here to debunk the myths surrounding the staple food.

Natural Anti-Inflammatory & Gluten Free

Do you suffer from gluten sensitivities? Rice is not only scrumptious, but it’s gluten-free as well! Rice can be added to your diet easily and works as a natural anti-inflammatory for our bodies, which is always a great benefit.

Full Of Vitamins & Minerals

Furthermore, white rice is full of vitamins E, K and B as well as minerals such as potassium, magnesium and iron that can help improve our overall health. As it is slowly digested and absorbed into the body, it’s also a good source of energy that makes one feel fuller and more energetic throughout the entire day.

Aids In Digestion & Helps With Constipation

Rice is also a good source of fiber that is essential for reducing constipation and regulating the digestive system. Keeping a healthy digestive tract means that the body’s waste does not sit for long periods of time. Working as a natural diuretic, rice also helps to eliminate water from the body.

This is beneficial to those who have high blood pressure and other conditions. Eliminating water from the body means you urinate more frequently, which helps to rid the body of uric acid and even helps you lose weight! In return, your kidneys reap the benefits.

Not only is rice healthy, it is also a versatile ingredient that can be made into many snacks and products. JRE will be showcasing four products, made with premium ingredients as well as natural resources that can give you those aforementioned benefits.

Did you know that the name “Hitomebore” comes from the phrase “love at first sight”? With a pleasant sweetness along with a soft, fluffy and chewy texture the Iwate Hitomebore by KITOKU SHINRYO., LTD  is an all-rounded rice with a balance of stickiness, sweetness, lustre and aroma.

One of the most popular sakes in the USA since its launch, Sayuri by HAKUTSURU SAKE BREWING CO., LTD comes in a pretty pink bottle design that has a refreshing sweetness and a clean aftertaste to the delight of all sake lovers.

For snacks made with 100% Japanese glutinous rice, the Jagabutter Arare by MORIHAKUSEIKA CO., LTD is handmade and sprinkled with Japanese potato flour to create a delicious potato butter arare that has a soft and crunchy texture with a buttery taste.

If you can’t consume normal pasta, the Rice Pasta by NAMISATO CORPORATION is made with 100% Akita Akitakomachi rice flour. Relish the firm texture of the noodles and the goodness, sweetness and flavour of the rice with a cook time of only 2-4 mins. The fettuccine-like noodles are a perfect match for any cream or tomato sauce base you have at home so you can whip up a good meal.

Although knowing the benefits of rice might not be common knowledge, one thing is for certain: it’s delicious! Who doesn’t love eating rice? These items will be available for sale on Singapore Home Cooks Facebook Group on 29 November 2021 8pm, so take this chance to discover more delicious produce from Japan.
