Brown Rice Better Than White Rice
Many housewives still prefer the white or well-polished rice than the other kind of rice. To them, white rice, no matter what it costs, is still the best. This is so because white rice is more appetizing to eat.
But what they do not know is that while second-class milled rice or brown rice is less polished, it is, nutrition experts say, more palatable and nutritious.
Tiffany Lim, SL Agritech Corp. marketing assistant for rice, said “from the social point of view, white rice has become a status symbol to class-conscious but misguided Filipinos.”
The latest findings reveal that 69.2 percent of Filipinos are undernourished and 2.8 percent are underweight. This has resulted in many deaths, especially among children owing to malnutrition.
