Organic and naturally grown rice is essential to a healthy lifestyle as the produce contains more nutrients and isn’t contaminated with harmful chemicals. Conventional farming techniques use synthetic compounds to deter pests and treat disease, but these compounds can leave residue in produce which is harmful to human health. In addition, rice is often refined during the production process and so loses lots of its nutritional value. Organic farming methods mean that rice has more flavour, more nutritional value, and isn’t tainted by chemical residue.

FAQs

What is meant by organic rice?

Organic rice is rice that is grown using organic farming methods. These methods include not using chemical fertilisers or synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or fungicides, not using GMO crops, and using crop rotation and healthful soil management. Organic products are generally certified and to be sure a product is fully organic, certification is the best indicator of this.

Is organic rice better?

Generally, organic produce will always be healthier and cleaner than conventional produce and rice is no different. Organic farming methods mean no chemical residue is left on products, making them safer and not contaminated with compounds harmful to human health. The soil management of organic farming also allows for more nutrient rich produce. Rice is usually heavily refined which can strip it of its nutritional value and so organic rice may mean rice that has more nutritional benefits.

What rice is the healthiest?

Brown rice is generally thought to be the healthiest rice type as it has a high fibre content and an incredible amount of nutrients, including essential vitamins and minerals, and antioxidants. Brown rice is high in protein, and coupled with its high fibre content, it can make you feel fuller for longer. Other healthy rice types include black rice, red rice and wild rice.
