Befach Rice vs Brown Rice: Which One Wins?

Befach Rice vs Brown Rice: Which One Wins?

Brown rice is often praised as the healthier alternative to white rice thanks to its fiber and micronutrient content. But at Befach, we’ve worked to develop rice that is lab‑tested for low Glycemic Index (GI), fortified with Folic Acid, Vitamin B12, and Iron, and compliant with FSSAI standards. So, which rice should win a spot on your plate? Let’s unpack the comparison.

Nutrition Face‑Off

Feature Brown Rice Befach Rice
Fiber Content High (bran layer retained) Moderate (but fortified with micronutrients)
Glycemic Index Medium (variety & cooking dependent) Low GI (lab‑tested & certified)
Fortification Usually not fortified Fortified with Folic Acid, Iron, B12
Digestibility Harder to digest for children/elders Soft texture, family‑friendly
Taste & Cooking Nutty flavor, longer cook time Similar to regular white rice but healthier
Compliance No specific standardization FSSAI‑compliant, tested for safety

Who Should Choose What?

  • Brown Rice – Great for those with higher fiber needs who enjoy denser textures.
  • Befach Rice – Tailored for families, diabetics, and wellness seekers who need low‑GI, fortified rice without compromising on taste or convenience.

Backed by Science

Research from the ICMR and NIN highlights the benefit of lower‑GI foods in reducing diabetes risk and improving metabolic health. Unlike typical milled rice, Befach’s selection is optimized to balance digestibility, satiety, and fortified nutrition.
