Product Benefits
In the old days, devzir rice was also called the "Pink Pearl of the East." Its distinctive feature is a characteristic dark strip running along the entire rice, and it remains on it during and after cooking, and is also evidence of the authenticity of rice.
The brownish powder characteristic of the devzir is usually absent in other types of rice, which are polished under industrial conditions, removing the top layer. In contrast, the devzira is simply peeled off, in the process of which powder appears, which is a mixture of crushed germ and the upper shell of the grain. It is thanks to this process that very valuable phosphorus, magnesium, zinc and B vitamins are stored in the product.
The calorie content of 100 grams of devzira rice is 365 kcal. This amount also contains 9.2 grams of protein, 0.8 grams of fat, 80.3 grams of carbohydrate and 26.4 mg of magnesium, 186.8 mg of phosphorus, 0.36 mg of iron and 0.54 mg of zinc. In addition, this product is very valuable for people who do not recognize GMO products, since in the Ferghana Valley, devzira rice is grown in the traditional way from seed material unchanged in the laboratory.
