Genmai :: Japonica Brown Rice
Genmai is unpolished brown rice with the husks removed but the bran and germ intact. Slightly nutty tasting and more “chewy” than hakumai, genmai is both delicious and extremely nutritious, containing four times the vitamin B1 and E, three times the fibre and twice the vitamin B2 and iron of hakumai. Going well with almost any ingredient, genmai can be used as a substitute for hakumai. It contains an element that naturally stimulates the metabolism, helping reduce the signs of aging, and improving the condition of hair and skin.
