Rice Bran Solubles Powder: The Fluffy Superfood

Since I assume you are all well-informed wellness connoisseurs who are aware of the benefits of consuming the right organic foods and supplements, we would like to introduce you to rice bran solubles powder, an underrated superfood that might surprise you in terms of its potential health benefits.

Rice Bran's Health Benefits

The rice bran is a nutrient-dense portion of the grain, but it is often removed as the rice gets processed. It’s a little strange when you think about it, that the healthiest part would get removed, but it helps produce that fluffy white rice we all love.

Nutritionists and baristas alike sometimes refer to this bran as tocos in places like fancy coffee shops and online wellness forums. But why is it called tocos? Tocos is a way of referring to Tocotrienol, which is an antioxidant in the Vitamin E family found naturally in soluble bran.

Why is it a good idea to try it?

You will see that rice bran solubles are packed with nutrients and are easy to incorporate into your diet. Let’s dig a little deeper into the specific benefits:

It may reduce the risk of free radical damage to your skin's cells.

For its high concentration of tocotrienols (vitamin E components), rice bran offers a wide range of health benefits, from boosting the body's natural detox processes and regulating blood sugar to lowering cholesterol.

Free radicals and oxidative stress are both combated by vitamin E in the skin cells. These cause cell chaos and skin damage.

However, the skin is protected from redness and irritation thanks to Vitamin E's anti-inflammatory capabilities. It also helps the skin's ability to repair itself from sun damage.

Vitamin E is cited by several holistic nutritionists as a way to support healthy hair and scalp as well.

It enhances the healthy immune response to free radicals.

Rice bran's natural CoQ10 content is also something to take note of. This substance is naturally produced by our bodies. However, as we grow older, the levels drop.

One of the components of a completely flourishing body is coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), an antioxidant that the human body naturally makes. By promoting cell vitality, CoQ10 enables our body's own cells to absorb essential nutrients and eliminate harmful toxins.

The benefits don’t stop there. Rice bran solubles are loaded with nutrients, including Vitamin A, a host of important B Vitamins, Vitamin C, Vitamin K1, Gamma Oryzanol (another antioxidant found in rice bran), and various Carotenoids as well.

Rice Bran Soluble Recipe

Now you know why it's a good idea to keep a supply of Raw Revelations Rice Bran Solubles Powder on hand. However, if you already have it in your kitchen, you can do the following.

Almond Amaretto Cookies

INGREDIENTS

6 tbsp unsalted butter

1/2 cup muscovado sugar

1 medium beaten locally sourced egg

14 cup roasted and crushed almonds

1 tbsp organic lemon peel, finely grated

1 tsp. cinnamon powder

1 tbsp. Arriba Criollo cocoa powder, wild-harvested

1 tbsp. Rice Bran Solubles

1 tbsp. Amaretto Sour

2 cups almond flour

1/4 tsp baking powder

How to Prepare:

Once all of the ingredients have been mixed together in a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, add the eggs and muscovado sugar and continue to beat until they are light in color.

In a large bowl, combine the muscovado, rice bran solubles powder, cinnamon, cacao powder, and powdered almonds.

In a different container or basin, sift the flour and baking soda after turning off the mixer.

Reduce the speed of the mixer to low and begin adding the flour mixture gradually.

Mix the Amaretto Sour with the dough before proceeding. If a dough does not form, gradually add more almond flour, a tbsp at a time.

Turn off the machine and scrape off any dough from the whisk attachment.

Form a large ball with your hands, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least eight hours.

Unwrap the chilled dough from the refrigerator. Set the oven temperature to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line three baking pans with parchment paper before baking.

Roll out the dough to a 1/8" circle on a lightly floured surface after cutting it into four equal parts.

Use a flute or wine glass for this task. Make round cookies by pressing the circular end into the dough and then laying the cookies on a lined sheet pan.

Allow to bake for 20 minutes followed by a single flip after 10 minutes.

It is possible to keep the cookies in a jar for up to ten days if you store them properly.
