Whole grain or brown rice is not a variety, but rather a way of processing the grain so that the rice maintains its raw fibre shell, vitamin B1, B5, B6, proteins and minerals. It is incredibly healthy and delicious. It also has a high degree of digestibility. It has a mild, nutty flavour, and is chewier and more nutritious than white rice.
In Italian lowland areas such as the plains of Sibari, a natural phenomena called the 'Occhi di Mare' occurs. The formation of sinkholes from eroding rock under the earth's surface,laysan incredible part in the production of rice. These small holes fill up with seawater and it is the combination of this with the mountain spring water used to flood the fields during the sowing that creates a tremendously fertile soil for the rice to grow in.
Magisa controls the entire production process from planting to packaging. Many factors including the intense sun, mild temperatures, proximity to the sea, crop rotation and years of experience result in the use of no herbicides, pesticides or fungicides. The rice is worked at a low speed and not polished, both of which help to maintain the nutritional values. They use modern technology while respecting the natural process allowing them to produce a rice of excellent quality.
