Higher Fiber Content: Compared to whole rice, broken rice retains
more of the bran and germ layers, resulting in higher fiber content. This aids
digestion, promotes gut health, and can contribute to feelings of fullness.
Increased Vitamins and Minerals: Similarly, the retained bran and
germ layers in broken rice lead to higher levels of essential vitamins and minerals
like B vitamins, magnesium, phosphorus, and manganese.
Potential for Lower Calories:Some studies suggest broken rice may
have slightly lower calorie content than whole rice due to its smaller surface area
and reduced starch digestibility.
