Milled Pigmented Organic Rice

-
Let's welcome the new year 2014!  My ushering the new year is a bit too late and my blogging had been a bit dry at the beginning of the year.  Guess there was no muse to inspire me to write.

Anyways, I had a sort of "little inspiration" and would like to share it with you.  It's about the milled pigmented organic rice.  The topic is interesting especially for health buff or organic conscious consumers.

I'd like to break the down the milled pigmented organic rice in segments in order for you to munch on the morsels of nourishing thought it will provide.

First of all, the process of separating the hull or outer covering of the rice with the grain is milling, and the end result is milled rice.  However, the degree of milled rice is differentiated whether the bran is still intact or not. If the bran is still intact it is called "milled rice".  On the other hand, if the bran is already gone and the grain shows a very lighter shade of rice it is called "well milled rice".   The question is - which is healthier the milled rice or very milled rice?  If you guess milled rice you are correct!  The brand or outer covering for milled rice is loaded with so much nutrient and without this, you are losing a lot on the health benefits.

The milled bran coming from very milled white rice, which are fed to pigs, is loaded with so much nutrient which makes pigs luckier than humans because they receive more health benefits.

Milled pigmented rice are packed with antioxidants that can reduce free radicals working in the body thus minimizing potential  health problems.  The degree of pigmentation of the rice provides relative amounts of antioxidants in accordance with shade. The more pigmented the better.  Available pigmented rice are brown, red and black rice.

Start munching on those pigmented rice today towards a healthy body.

The Seventies - The "Disco" Era

The seventies was undoubtedly the "disco" era.  As a teenager, I listened and danced to the distinct sound of that era. When "Saturday Night Fever" hit the movie theaters in 1978,  I became an avid fan of the Bee Gees and other bands that played the disco sound.   Besides listening to disco sound, I also mimicked dance steps like the "swing" and "L.A. shuffle" from a local popular TV show the "Penthouse Seven." I strutted my stuff every time  I danced with a partner at birthday parties held in friends' residences. Bands that dished out disco tunes during the '70s were  ABBA  with their  song "Dancing Queen";   Donna Summer 's   goosebumps-raising song "Last Dance."  Other bands like  KC and the Sunshine Band ,  The Trammps ,  Van McCoy ,  Gloria Gaynor ,  The Village People ,  Chic , and  The Jacksons   also flooded the radio airwaves in the '70s .   I even followed their progress over the loc

Grandfather@50

I will be turning 50 before the  end of this year, and what better way to usher in my golden boy status is becoming a bonafide grandfather.  I now have a grandson, his name is Samien. He was born on April 25, 2012. His parents say that the name means "to be heard".  I guess their choice was right because when Samien cries, he is really heard by everybody. I noticed remarkable things in Samien.  While just a new born, he showed to us that he has strong legs and arms.  He can push himself upwards in the crib and was tireless in raising his small arms every  now and then.  Also, he is not the quiet type because he always cries and laughs unlike other babies inside the nursery who are peacefully asleep.  At three months old, he speaks amusing although unintelligible syllables.  Also, at three months, he is rather long for babies his age and quite heavy for a three month old baby.  He weighed in at 5 kilogram during his visit to his pediatrician. Samien, quite surprisingly

Do you prefer healthy living? Go organic rice! Health buffs would like to get their hands on real organic rice. If you're one of them, do you know which ones are authentic organic rice? This blog will tell you all you need to know about organic rice. Some people think that organic rice is red and brown rice variety only.  Not really. It comes in other varieties and colors such as white, black, etc.  The idea that red and brown alone are organic rice is wrong.  These rice varieties are now sold under specific brands in leading supermarkets in the Philippines, however, not all of them are organic rice. But how will you know if you're buying organic rice or not? Organic rice is farmed without using synthetic fertilizer and chemical pesticide inputs. Besides the inputs, there are other things to consider such as -  How was it planted? What were the farming methods used? Was there contamination along the supply chain until it has reached the end consumer? There are variet
