Spercheios, Organic (BIO) rice, White 0,5Κ

Ryzes, Organic rice of Natural Farming
It is not a wooden replica of rice, but a healthy creation of nature, full of dozens of antioxidants, trace minerals and vitamins, without being burdened by pesticides or chemical fertilizers.
"Ryzes" rice was cultivated naturally, with the help of Effective Microorganisms (EM), without any use of pesticides or chemical fertilizers and without even of approved biological medication.
It was co cultivated and exchanged aromas with wild basil and the whole biodiversity of the area. In a live wetland!
The organic rice, "Ryzes" of Helession is a product of natural farming of a local variety in the plains of Central Hellas (Greece). Was cultivated in the "NATURA" area of river Spercheios and is one of the few crops that help in the fertility of saline soil and the preservation of wetland ecosystem.
The community of Helession refuses to conform with the "green revolution in agriculture", which brought so many disasters upon man, and decides on the natural and organic cultivation of rice.
It argued with the use of permitted, chemical formulations approved by the Regulation of Organic Agriculture of the European Committee (E.C.), because the scientific committees of the E.C., pressured by the lobby of the pharmaceutical industries, approve chemicals, formulations and pesticides, "slightly" toxic for organic agriculture and production.
Helession votes in favor of natural organic agriculture and production, using only natural enhancers, such as animal dung, compost, active microorganisms (A.M.) etc.
We regard pests as our helpers, not as enemies of the basic cultivation and thus, we try to decrease their numbers with the method of early pseudo cultivation.
….Thus, we bravely fulfilled another goal, and we managed to stay faithful to our country's traditions.
It tastes great with Greek Red Saffron. We suggest you add salt always last. Brown rice is suitable for every culinary use as it stays firm, while it keeps its aroma and taste.
Ryzes has not undergone disinsectization and must be kept in dry and cool places. It is a Organic Hellenic (Greek) Product of Natural Farming.

Why choose brown rice?

Brown rice overshadows white and yellow rice in matter of nutrients, because the only process it experiences is that it has its outer layer removed (husk).
The inner layer, the sprout, the aroma and the natural nutrients remain intact while at the same time it gets to keep the "force of the seed".
In the preparatory process of the white rice production almost: 99% of vitamin B1, 72% of B3, 90% of B6, 60% of iron, 50% of manganese, 50% of phosphorus, the largest part of its fiber and many more are lost.
This is why beriberi disease plagued the population of Asia, that changed their diet and went from consuming brown rice to consuming white, due to the imposing of Codex Alimentarius and the so called "green agricultural revolution".
Brown rice is full of fibers, potassium, magnesium, phosphorus, iron, vitamin B and vitamin E.
The fibers of rice lower cholesterol levels and are stomach friendly. It is easily digestible if you boil it (1 part rice to 3,5 parts water, boiled in low temperature until there is no water left). Water from organic rice soothes the stomach and rejuvenates the digestive system.
