BAP Brown Rice Powder Premium 100g - Japanese Whole-Husk Brown Rice Superfood
BAP Brown Rice Powder Premium is a Japanese brown rice powder made from whole unhulled rice, including the husk, using a proprietary high-temperature, high-pressure subcritical cooking process. Pre-cooked and ready to mix, one teaspoon a day adds fiber, minerals and a roasted, savory flavor to any meal or drink.
1. Nutrition Hidden in the Rice Husk
Ordinary brown rice already contains over 30 types of nutrients, but the hard husk that covers it is also rich in dietary fiber, minerals and antioxidant components. Brown rice with the husk has roughly 6 to 7 times the dietary fiber of ordinary brown rice, plus minerals such as silicon that modern diets often lack. The husk was previously unsuitable for eating because of its hardness, but Shokuken succeeded in powdering the whole grain with its own subcritical process. Slow cooking this way generates melanoidin, an antioxidant component, which is why the powder is browner than ordinary brown rice powder.
2. Antioxidant Capacity Ranked No.1 in Its Category
BAP stands for Biological Antioxidant Potential, an index of antioxidant capacity. In a survey of the brown rice powder category by the Japan Rating Research Institute (announced December 2020), this product recorded a BAP value of 8,770 micromol/L, the highest among nine commercially available brown rice powders. The institute noted that in addition to the abundant nutrients inherent in brown rice, the product has an antioxidant function that helps protect the body from oxidative stress.
3. Just 2g a Day for Excellent Value
Despite being packed with nutrients, the recommended daily intake is only about 2g, roughly one teaspoon, so a single 100g bag lasts a long time and the cost per day stays low.
4. Pre-Cooked Powder - Simply Mix It In
This is a pre-cooked powder, slowly prepared in a dedicated kiln, so no cooking is needed. Just stir it into food or drinks and the roasted flavor enhances your usual menu.
- Staple foods: mix into rice before cooking for fragrant brown rice.
- Finishing a dish: a quick sprinkle into miso soup, simmered dishes or curry adds depth.
- Drinks and desserts: stir into your morning coffee or a smoothie.
- Seasonings: add it to salad dressing.
- A quick break: dissolve in hot water for an easy, fragrant brown rice tea.
5. Specially Cultivated Chiba Rice, No Detectable Pesticide Residue
Because it is eaten every day, quality and safety are strictly controlled. The brown rice is only specially cultivated rice grown with organic fertilizer by contract farmers in Chiba Prefecture, with no detectable pesticide residue. It is manufactured under thorough control at the company's own GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) certified factory.
