producers of variety of foods has launched new Ofada rice in line with
government’s initiative of made in Nigerian goods.
Bosun Oyedele, managing director and chief executive officer
of the company, while speaking in Lagos recently said that the company found it
imperative to tap into government’s diversification policy of shifting away

Rice is free of stones and sands, and the company found it worthy to introduce
it to the Nigeria populace after a thorough research into the health benefits
of Ofada Rice.

Atherosclerosis, Ischemic Stroke, Diabeties, Obesity, excess weight and it also
resists insulin in human body.”
He explained that percent daily values of Ofada Rice are
based on a 2000 calories diet while individual daily values may be different
depending on the calories requirements.

available in shops across the country, and interested buyers and distributors

Ebbos Ofada Rice, a local delicacy predominantly produced in
Nigeria is regarded as the best. It will be recalled that a research conducted
by Dr (Mrs) Khadijah Alarape, the State Nutrition Officer of Oyo State Ministry
of Health confirmed that Ofada Rice is a much healthier option than white rice.
According to her, "a wholegrain like Ofada Rice has
three layers; the bran, germ and the endosperm. The bran contains most of the
nutrients and when the wholegrain is processed to white or polished rice,
majority of the nutrients, most especially in the bran are lost.”
Alarape further said that Ofada contains nutrients needed to
fight colon and gall stones. Other reasons people should switch from white rice
to Ofada Rice today include:
Having about two times the amount of magnesium and
phosphorus; two and half times iron, three, four and 10 times more vitamin B3,
B1 and B6, respectively and four times fibre than white rice.
The cellulose content of Ofada Rice increases the fibre
content in our food. This is usually useful in the management of calorie intake
for some health conditions like diabetes mellitus.
It is also useful in lowering cholesterol level, which
safeguards against heart disease while the fibre also assists in preventing
bowel disorders.
Ofada Rice lowers Low Density Lipoproteins (LDL) and it is
also useful in weight management. It has appreciable amount of selenium, which
has been found to fight colon and breast cancers.
The insoluble fibre helps in reducing the risk of gall
stones which is common in women.
