It contains more nutrients like iron, zinc, and antioxidants compared to white rice.2. Fiber Content: Red rice is high in dietary fiber, promoting better digestion and helping maintain stable blood sugar levels. This can reduce the risk of diabetes.3. Lower Glycemic Index: Red rice has a lower glycemic index than white rice, meaning it causes a slower rise in blood sugar levels and provides sustained energy, making it suitable for diabetics.4. Antioxidants: The natural pigments in red rice, such as anthocyanins, possess antioxidant properties that can help protect cells from oxidative damage and reduce the risk of chronic diseases.5. Heart Health: Red rice’s fiber and antioxidant content can support heart health by reducing cholesterol levels and lowering the risk of cardiovascular diseases.

6. Weight Management: The higher fiber content in red rice can promote a feeling of fullness, aiding in weight management by preventing overeating.
