Brown Rice Pasta

Due to its mild flavor and chewy texture, brown rice pasta is one of the most widely used types of gluten-free pasta and works well as a substitute for most traditional pasta recipes. With nearly three grams in a one-cup (195 gram) portion of cooked pasta, brown rice pasta is a good source of fiber when compared to most other types.

Important micronutrients including manganese, selenium, and magnesium are also rich in brown rice. Additionally, studies have shown that brown rice bran is a rich source of antioxidants, potent chemicals that can help prevent oxidative cell damage and promote better health. According to some research, consuming brown rice can boost the blood's antioxidant levels, which may help prevent chronic diseases including diabetes, cancer, and heart disease.
