Joha rice, an aromatic rice variety grown in the Northeastern region of India, has been found to have beneficial effects in reducing blood glucose levels and preventing the onset of diabetes. As a result, it is considered a valuable nutraceutical option for managing diabetes.
Joha rice, a winter paddy characterized by its distinct aroma and delicious taste, is a short-grain variety. Traditional beliefs suggest that individuals who consume Joha rice have a lower risk of developing diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. However, these claims require scientific validation to confirm their accuracy.
In order to investigate the nutraceutical properties of aromatic Joha rice, researchers at the Institute of Advanced Study in Science and Technology (IASST), an autonomous institute under the Department of Science and Technology, conducted a study.
In addition to its nutritional benefits, the researchers discovered that scented Joha rice possesses a more balanced ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 essential fatty acids compared to the commonly consumed non-scented variety.
Overall, Joha rice shows promise as a nutritious and potentially beneficial food option. Ongoing research aims to validate its traditional claims and explore its potential role in promoting health and managing various conditions.
