Revolutionizing Rice: Boosting Fiber to Fight Diabetes and Heart Disease
The goal of the research is to make rice healthier by increasing its dietary fiber content and changing its composition. By developing rice with more resistant starch and fiber, it can help lower the risk of diseases like diabetes and heart problems. Currently, white rice is high in starch and low in fiber, leading to quick digestion and high blood sugar levels. By improving the fiber content of rice, it can be a better option for people's health, especially in regions where rice is a staple food.
