Phyto Basic - Purple Riceberry Powder

Germ rice is a type of rice that has been partially milled, so that the bran layer is removed but the germ is intact. The germ is the part of the rice grain that contains most of the vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and oils.

Germ rice has a mild nutty flavor and a slightly chewy texture. It can be cooked in the same way as white rice, but it may require more water and time. You can use it as a base for various dishes, such as curries, stir-fries, salads or soups. You can also mix it with other grains or legumes for more variety and nutrition.
