Enjoy Grayns rice
RICE is a staple for Asians with many enjoying it up to three times a day. However, more people are also discovering that rice contains a high sugar content which can cause a slew of health problems.
“Sugar disease” is the medical community’s new “catch all” term for conditions that result from an excessive sugar intake combined with unhealthy lifestyle choices.
A healthy lifestyle aside, the diet plays a huge role in avoiding “sugar disease”, mainly by cutting down on carbohydrates with high sugar content. With rice having one of the highest sugar content, this has proven to be a huge quandary for rice-eating people.
What does one do to effectively eliminate the “sugar disease”? Exercise and diet are of utmost importance, but let’s discuss diet as it has a larger impact. Does one need to exclude carbs and concentrate on meat and vegetables? Not at all, this, in fact, leads to other dietary imbalances with its own implications.
Simply, to avoid “sugar disease”, make it a rule to eat carbs low on the glycemic index (GI). In Malaysia, rice is enjoyed in many varieties. Unfortunately, it is high on the GI. Fortunately, technology has enabled rice to be enjoyed on the low GI.
The technology of isolating sugar from rice was pioneered by Grayns Research Lab, a joint innovation of Malaysia and the United States. Five years of research and development resulted in an intelligent rice cooker that is able to separate the RDS (Rapidly Digested Starch) from rice, thus producing rice that is low on the GI.
In essence, rice cooked the Grayns way is cooked the way it is meant to be – devoid of sugar or unhealthy starch. It also replicates how rice was cooked decades ago by our forefathers, over firewood and slow cooking, but healthier.
The technology to isolate sugar or RDS is attributed to its four-stage cooking process.
The rice cooker intelligently analyses the rice grain and identifies the right temperature to isolate the sugar while maintaining nutrients. Once the temperature is identified, the rice cooker holds the temperature to slowly dissolve sugar.
When most of the sugar is removed, the sugar-rich water is drained and rice is cooked to fluff and perfection.
The Grayns rice cooker is recommended for diabetics and those planning to lose weight. The recently introduced new model of Grayns TORC 1.9 v2 comes with a top-quality stainless steel cooking interior for uncompromised hygiene and safety. The product is priced at RM2,888 (inclusive of GST).
