Rice Bran Oil
Rice bran oil is extracted from rice bran, the outer layer of the rice grain. It’s commonly used as a cooking oil in many Asian countries, including Japan, India, and China. As a byproduct of rice milling, rice bran is usually used as animal feed or discarded as waste. Yet, it has recently gained attention for its potential health benefits as an oil.
Rice bran oil is a good source of unsaturated fats, vitamin E, and other important nutrients. It may also help lower blood sugar levels and improve insulin resistance, though more human studies are necessary.
Rice bran oil improves on cholesterol levels, thus reducing risks of heart diseases. Several active compounds in rice bran oil, including oryzanol and tocotrienols, may provide antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.
Test-tube and animal studies suggest that compounds in rice bran oil may safeguard against cancer, but further research is needed. Studies indicate thatthis oil may combat bad breath, enhance your immune system, and promote skin health. Still, more research is necessary.
Rice bran oil is versatile and easy to add to your diet. Its high smoke point and mild flavor make it ideal for stir-fries, soups, dressings, and vinaigrettes.
