Abana Rice

Abana Rice provides carbohydrates for energy along with naturally occurring fibre and minerals. Its less-refined, firmer grain may digest more slowly than highly refined white rice, which can help provide a more gradual release of energy. Traditionally, it is also valued as a wholesome rice for digestive comfort.

Enjoy it with vegetable curries, dhal, sambar, rasam or traditional gravies. It can also be used for rice bowls, porridge and other wholesome everyday meals.

Wash well and soak before cooking to reduce cooking time. Cook until the thick grains become soft while retaining their characteristic texture. Start with a 'smaller portion', as this rice is naturally filling. Pair it with vegetables, greens and protein for a more balanced meal.

Abana Rice naturally provides 'complex carbohydrates, fibre, protein and minerals'. Exact nutritional values and blood-glucose effects vary according to the rice variety, processing, cooking method and portion size.

Its thicker, less-refined grain and fibre content may produce a slower glucose response than some refined white rices, but it is still a carbohydrate food and can raise blood sugar. Portion size and the overall meal are important. People with diabetes should follow their healthcare professional’s dietary advice.
