The best rice for diabetes patients: Rice is an important part of the daily diet of people in India. Here people prepare and eat Biryani, Pulao, Khichdi or Dal-rice, etc. However, rice is considered very harmful for diabetic patients. White rice has a very high glycemic index and is rich in carbohydrates. Therefore, its consumption increases the blood sugar level.
Doctors do not advise eating rice for diabetes. If you still like rice and you have to be careful, then we are telling you about such a type of rice, the consumption of which can keep your diabetes under control. Recently, the Institute of Advanced Studies in Science and Technology conducted a study and found that Joha rice grown in Assam does not increase blood sugar levels. This keeps diabetes under control. Joha rice is cultivated in the Garo Hills of Assam.
Benefits of Joha rice
Sugar levels and diabetes can be easily controlled by consuming Joha rice. By eating this, many people who grow this rice in Assam in winter, have less risk of diabetes and cardiovascular disease. The study also analyzed the nutraceutical properties of Joha rice. The unsaturated fatty acids i.e. (omega-6) and (omega-3) found in joha rice heal many physiological conditions. This rice is also used to make rice bran oil.
Joha rice is famous for its taste and aroma.
It is said that Joha rice is at par with Basmati rice. That's why it has been awarded a GI tag. Its aroma is not like Basmati rice, but it is famous all over India for its unique taste and aroma. It serves as a source of plant-based protein for vegetarians and vegans.
