It’s rich in gamma-oryzanol, an antioxidant found almost exclusively in rice bran.
The oil is naturally cholesterol-free and contains a mix of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats.
Some studies suggest it may help lower LDL cholesterol and improve heart health.
Drawbacks ⚠️
High in calories, like all oils, and can contribute to weight gain if overused.
Unrefined rice bran oil may have a shorter shelf life and a stronger flavor.
