Why aged basmati rice may be better for digestion and blood sugar
Indian Express·1h ago·Neutral
What Happened
Aged basmati rice offers improved digestibility and lower glycemic index compared to freshly milled rice, according to a dietitian. The aging process reduces moisture content and restructures starch, making grains less sticky and more separate. While nutritional value remains unchanged, these structural changes help the body process carbohydrates more efficiently, potentially benefiting blood sugar management and digestion.
