Rice Bran Oil is oil made from the bran of a piece of rice. The bran is an outer husk or layer that surrounds each kernel of rice (like a potato is surrounded by its skin). The oil is extracted from this husk; it has a mild flavor and taste, though is sometimes described as tasting slightly nutty. Because of it’s light flavor, it’s quite versatile in lots of different cooking applications.
It is known for its high smoke point of 260 °C (490 °F) and mild flavor, making it suitable for high-temperature cooking methods such as stir frying and deep frying. It is popular as a cooking oil in several Asian countries, including Bangladesh, Japan, India, and China.
BENEFITS OF RICE BRAN OIL
Heart Healthy Oil
Rice Bran Oil has a balanced amount of monounsaturated, polyunsaturated and saturated fats. It is also considered a heart-friendly oil that can help improve your cholesterol.
“Rice bran might help lower cholesterol because it contains the right amount of oryzanol which is an antioxidant. It helps decrease cholesterol absorption and increase cholesterol elimination,” says Gargi Sharma, Nutritionist & Weight-Management Expert.
The American Heart Association and The World Health Organization (WHO) recommend rice bran oil as the best choice for improving serum cholesterol levels.
High Smoke Point For Frying
Rice bran oil has a high smoke-point — some claim up to 260˚C or 490˚F (though Centra Foods recommends a max of 450˚F), which makes it perfect for stir frying or deep frying. It can maintain its nutritive quality even at high temperatures. Also, it has been seen that foods cooked at high temperatures absorb less oil.
Trans Fat Free
Rice bran oil is naturally trans fat free and is quickly becoming a favorite in commercial frying to replace hydrogenated oils that contain trans fat. Many of today’s oils are partially hydrogenated (which the FDA has banned after 2018) and consumers are actively looking for alternatives. With it’s high smoke point and mild taste it makes a great frying option along with High Oleic Non-GMO Canola Fry Oil and High Oleic Sunflower Fry Oil.
Contains Antioxidants
Rice bran oil contains a vitamin E complex, antioxidants and other micronutrients to help fight free radicals and combat the effects of aging. It’s these components of rice bran oil give it an outstanding shelf life as well. It also is a naturally occurring source of antioxidants such as Tocopherols, Tocotrienols, Gamma Oryzanol, Phytosterols, Polyphenols and Squalene.
Foods Absorb Less Oil
The viscosity (thickness) of rice bran oil is very light. This means that foods cooked with rice bran oil can absorb up to 20% less oil. Less oil absorbed results in reduced calories, better, lighter tasting food and enhanced flavor and palatability. Less oil absorbed also makes this oil more economical.
