Increasing research in the last few years has shone light on the myriad health benefits of fermented rice. The present generation has started incorporating this nutritional powerhouse as their breakfast and it’s gaining traction like never before.

Loaded with nutrients, probiotics and antimicrobial properties, fermented rice helps in increasing the good bacteria in your gut and improves the overall health of your gastrointestinal tract. In addition, consuming fermented rice helps reduce frequent hunger pangs and aids in appetite control, thereby helping you with weight management.

Fermented rice is super easy to make and sustainable. It is prepared by simply soaking left-over cooked rice in water overnight and must be mashed thoroughly. To get the best flavour outcome, you can add curd, salt and small shallots as add-ons and you’re good to go.
