Samak rice is a gluten-free, fibre-rich, and nutritious seed. It tastes similar to broken rice and has a texture like that of semolina (rava) and broken wheat (daliya), or even couscous. When cooked, it does not separate into individual grains like long-grained rice, but tends to clump together like upma. Samak is gluten-free, high in fibres and protein and low in calories, which means it can help you in weight loss if eaten over a sustained period of time. Resistant starch adds to the fibre load, which suppresses body inflammation, improves gut health and reduces LDL or bad cholesterol in the body.
