Nourishes the Gut and Benefits the Skin! I Would Call It a Hidden Treasure in the World of Food Therapy

Rice is the main character on Chinese dining tables.

The white rice we eat every day is the finished product after refined processing of paddy rice; while rice bran removed during processing looks like waste, it is actually a “small treasure house of grains” rich in nutrients.

Hunan Zhulong Mizhen Biotechnology Co., Ltd. has deeply cultivated the rice bran deep-processing field. With the original intention of supporting farmers and technology as its support, it brings healthy and delicious rice bran to the dining tables of thousands of households, unlocking new possibilities for healthy diets.

What Is Rice Bran?

Rice bran is the main by-product generated during the milling of brown rice into polished rice. It consists of the pericarp, aleurone layer, sub-aleurone layer, and germ, accounting for about 7% of the total weight of paddy rice.

Note:
Rice Husk ≠ Rice Bran

Rice husk is the outer layer that wraps rice bran and is not edible, mainly used in industry; rice bran is the edible nutrient layer.

Why Is Rice Bran Removed from Daily White Rice?

Simply put, there are two main reasons:

Longer Storage Life:
The rice bran layer is rich in oils, which are prone to oxidation, rancidity, and spoilage. Removing it allows rice to have a longer shelf life.

Better Taste:
Brown rice with rice bran has a coarse texture and requires longer cooking time; white rice is soft and mild, better matching popular taste preferences.

How Nutritious Is Rice Bran?

It Can Be Called a “Natural Nutrient Reservoir”

Rice bran contains a variety of essential nutrients and bioactive compounds required by the human body, which is also the fundamental reason why brown rice has greater health advantages than white rice.

Zhulong Mizhen Biotechnology adheres to quality standards to ensure that nutrients in rice bran are precisely preserved and efficiently utilized:

Antioxidants:
Contains polyphenols, oryzanol, vitamin E, and more, helping resist oxidative damage, reduce inflammation and certain disease risks, and providing certain antibacterial effects.

B Vitamins:
Rich in thiamine, niacin, riboflavin, vitamin B6, and others, assisting DNA synthesis in cells and compensating for the body’s limited ability to synthesize them.

Various Minerals:
Includes zinc, iron, phosphorus, calcium, and more, participating in digestion, muscle growth, and immune regulation processes.

Special Active Substances:
Contains phytosterols, γ-oryzanol, amino acids, and more, helping reduce cholesterol absorption, assist in regulating blood sugar and blood pressure, supporting cardiovascular health, and providing quality nutrients for body development.

Multiple Uses of Rice Bran

Not Limited to Eating

In the company’s research and exploration, the value of rice bran has long surpassed a single dimension and penetrated multiple fields, achieving industrial upgrading by “turning waste into treasure”:

Dietary Supplementation:
Active components such as arabinoxylan extracted from rice bran can enhance human immunity; rice bran supplements have also been proven to improve sleep efficiency, safeguarding health.

Rice Bran Oil:
Rice bran oil extracted through mechanical pressing and solvent extraction processes is not only a high-quality cooking oil but also rich in vitamins and antioxidants, nourishing skin and moisturizing the scalp, making it a natural ingredient in skincare and haircare fields.

Food Additive:
Rice bran is often added to various health foods and can replace part of dietary fats. Rice bran oil can reduce total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels, meeting modern healthy dietary needs.

High-Quality Feed:
Rich in protein, minerals, vitamins, and high energy, it is a high-quality additive for poultry and livestock feed.

Green Agriculture:
Rice bran lecithin can be used as a natural pest repellent to reduce pesticide use; it can also improve soil structure, enhance soil water retention capacity, and promote beneficial insect reproduction.
