一起來看看胚芽米！具有豐富的營養，勝過千萬保健品！

大米，早在7000年前就是中國祖先的主食之一，在歷代中醫典籍中又被奉為”五穀之長“，中國人歷來非常重視五穀對人的補益功效，認為是人的生命源泉。
Rice has been the main carbohydrate intake for the human race for over 7000 years.  In Chinese medicine, rice is considered the top of the grains and it is considered the fountain source of life. 

 

 

什麼是“胚芽米”？
What is "Bran Rice"?

“胚芽米”也就是保留胚芽的米，而我們今天介紹的“胚芽米”，更準確地說是“帶胚芽的鮮米”，保留“胚芽”的營養，追求大米的“新鮮度”的同時，更符合國人的飲食習慣。

"Bran Rice" is rice grain with its nutrient-dense outer husk still intact. It's a good natural source of fiber and contains magnesium, vitamin B6 and iron.

“大米的胚芽重量只佔3%，卻佔60%以上的營養成分。”

糙米雖然營養保留充分，但由於包圍了一層堅硬的種皮（外皮），煮食口感較粗糙，讓大多數人難以接受，精米口感好，易消化，但是精米失去了米最營養豐富的胚芽，只剩下大量的澱粉，而胚芽米介於糙米和精米之間，既不會口感很粗糙，又保留了米的營養。

Although rice grains prior to milling is rich in nutrients, its hard outer layer makes it harder to chew on and grainy in the mouth. The biggest difference between brown rice and bran rice would be its texture when cooked.  While retaining 80% of the nutrients, it does not have the same hard texture as brown rice making it taste similar to milled white rice.  The vitamins in 60g of bran rice are equivalent to  20 eggs, 1200g of beef, or 2000g of spinach!

 

為什麼要食用胚芽米？
