The need of the hour is to create awareness in minds of edible oil consuming people about the benefits of using rice bran oil, says B. V. Mehta, Executive Director, SEAI. Experts such as nutritionists, dieticians, cardiologists around the world promote this edible oil, which they say is ‘healthy oil’, he added.
He pointed out that various research and studies have proved that RBO is good for health and it can protect the consumer from the danger of coronary hearth diseases, diabetes and cancer. Human clinical studies found that this oil has significantly better cholesterol lowering properties compared to other popular oil.
RBO is the oil extracted from oily layer in between the paddy husk and the white rice (polished rice).
