Si Nin Rice

Onyx color rice or ‘Khao Si Nin’ had been developed from a Thai rice breed. Its special characteristic is a dark purple color to almost black because of pigments called anthocyanin and proanthocyanidin, which are in rice grain. These two pigments are five time stronger antioxidants than vitamin B5. The advantage of anthocyanin and proanthocyanidin can be concluded as:

Health: Anthocyanin prevents cancer cells in lung, nasal, stomach and white blood cells. Proanthocyanidin blocks LDL oxidation that lines blood vessel walls. Both pigments help prevent aging of cells from free radicals and reflect a young appearance.

Skin: Both pigments reduce skin damage from oxidation reaction cause by pollution and sun light. Anthocyanin stops enzyme elastase (this enzyme damages elastin) so the skin maintains a good fitting.

Hair: Both pigments slow down hair root and head skin cells deterioration and activate blood circulation causing stronger thick hair and prevent silver hair appearing before time.

Si Nin rice is not only great food but also creates real beauty and a healthy diet suitable for everybody, no matter what age or sex.
