Rice Bran Oil rich in oryzanol, cleans the body from the inside by reducing bad cholesterol (LDL) and maintaining good cholesterol (HDL)

In the journey toward healthier living, even the smallest kitchen choices can have a profound impact on our well-being. One such choice is the cooking oil we use, which can significantly influence our health. Among the many options available, rice bran oil stands out for those seeking both nutritional benefits and culinary versatility.

This outer layer is rich in essential nutrients, including oryzanol, an antioxidant present in concentrations of over 10,000 ppm. Oryzanol is known for its ability to lower bad cholesterol (LDL) while maintaining good cholesterol (HDL). This makes rice bran oil a heart-healthy alternative to common cooking oils like vegetable or sunflower oil. Its balanced fatty acid profile, with an equal ratio of polyunsaturated (PUFA) and monounsaturated (MUFA) fats, supports cardiovascular health and helps manage cholesterol levels.

The versatility of rice bran oil is another significant advantage. With a high smoke point of approximately 232°C, it is suitable for a variety of cooking methods, including frying, sautéing, and baking. Unlike some oils that degrade and release harmful compounds when heated, rice bran oil remains stable, ensuring that your dishes are both nutritious and flavourful. Its neutral taste complements a wide range of ingredients, enhancing the natural flavours of your meals.
