Ofada rice is an unpolished and not genetically modified local rice produced in Nigeria, it is short and has brown stripes before it is cultivated without chemicals. Though looked down upon for its unrefined, local nature, and unique smell, it contains lots of vitamins and minerals that are good for your health. It is also high in fiber and is a good substitute for people who are supposed to stay away from white rice.

  3. Lowers bad cholesterol levels
    The high amount of dietary fibres in Ofada lowers LDL cholesterol levels which are responsible for excessive weight gain due to insulin resistance.
