This helps to feel satiated longer. It is recommended for allergy sufferers , good for the heart and nervous system . With fiber , it regulates the digestive system . It contains vitamins A, D, E, magnesium, zinc, iron. Moreover, it is very tasty . It has a sweet , slightly nutty flavor . It is a hard rice , so you need to cook it longer than, for example .
