Supermarket Rice Health & Safety — Ranjodh Singh - Haanji Melbourne

You buy rice every week. But do you know what's actually in it? In this episode of Podcast Haanji Melbourne, host Ranjodh Singh shares the results of a recent Australian study testing over 50 packets of rice from Coles, Woolworths, and Aldi — and the findings will make you rethink everything about your weekly shop. Here are three things you'll take away from this episode: The Fiber Gap — 75% of supermarket rice is low in fiber, causing blood sugar spikes most families don't realise are happening at the dinner table. The Microplastic Risk — Microwaveable rice pouches contain up to four times more microplastics than traditional rice. One easy swap can make a big difference for your family. The Cooling Secret — Eating cooled rice is measurably healthier for your gut and blood sugar than eating it fresh. Find out why — and how to make it work in your daily routine. Ranjodh Singh also breaks down which rice varieties are best for diabetics, heart health, and growing children — from wild rice and black rice to basmati and jasmine — and shares pro-tips on washing, soaking, and balancing your plate for maximum nutrition. This is practical, community-focused health education — the kind your family needs. Listen free. Share with someone you love.
