About Rice chilka

Rice Chilka, commonly known as rice husk or bran, is a byproduct of rice milling, originating from cuisines that celebrate whole grain processing, notably in South Asia. This outer layer of rice is rich in dietary fiber, antioxidants, vitamins like B-complex, and essential fatty acids, making it a valuable addition to a nutritious diet. Its high fiber content supports digestive health and aids in maintaining healthy cholesterol levels. Rice Chilka is also appreciated for its mineral content, including magnesium and potassium, which contribute to bone health and heart function. However, due to its coarse texture, it may be consumed carefully or refined for usability in food applications. While traditionally used for animal feed or compost, an increasing interest in sustainable and health-conscious eating has highlighted its potential in human diets, especially in bran-based flours and nutrient-rich supplements.
