Khoai Lang Thang: Going to the West, discovering special ingredients from fertile rice fields

(Dan Tri) - Exploring many cultures, Khoai Lang Thang realized that people in many countries always know how to appreciate and utilize local resources to create products that become the pride of their homeland.

Brown rice oil - from the essence of brown rice to a heart-healthy cooking ingredient

If the Japanese are proud to introduce matcha green tea to the world , the Koreans preserve kimchi culture, the Mediterranean region is famous for olive oil... then Vietnam is proud of its vast rice fields, producing quality products.

And one of the quintessential products from the field that Khoai Lang Thang introduced in the latest video is brown rice oil - the oil extracted from the thin bran layer surrounding brown rice grains.

For the travel vlogger who has traveled through many cultures, brown rice oil is not only a healthy product that effectively utilizes local resources, but also proof that Vietnam has mastered modern technology to enhance the value of its homeland's fertile rice fields.

From that perspective, on his return to the West, amidst the golden rice fields, Khoai Lang Thang not only introduced the familiar banh gia dish but also talked about brown rice oil with the values ​​he cherished.

He shared: “This oil is extracted from the thin layer of brown rice bran - which contains many valuable nutrients of brown rice grains, especially rich in Gamma Oryzanol and Phytosterol nutrients that are good for heart health, so it is favored by consumers in developed countries and has a high price.”

The clip quickly gained attention, receiving more than 3.1 million views and 79,000 interactions after only 24 hours of posting; including comments contributing additional information about the value and price of brown rice oil in the world.

For example, the opinion from Phu Ngo account: "In Japan, people love brown rice oil so much that they call it "cooking oil of the heart". They are careful in every choice, that's why their people have the longest life expectancy in the world."

Or Nguyen Triet account said, on Walmart website, the price of brown rice oil in the US fluctuates around 19 USD/500ml bottle (equivalent to nearly 500,000 VND). Meanwhile, when referring to Japan's Rakuten website, the price is also around 1,200 Yen/1.3l bottle (approximately 210,000 VND).

Brown rice oil is sold at a price many times higher in other countries (Screenshot).

In fact, thanks to its balanced fatty acid composition and richness in valuable nutrients, brown rice oil is also included in the recommendations for a healthy, heart-healthy diet by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). According to published scientific documents, brown rice oil contains a significant amount of the nutrient Gamma Oryzanol, which is beneficial for cardiovascular health.

Gamma Oryzanol has the effect of reducing bad cholesterol, preventing plaque formation in the blood vessel walls, which is considered one of the silent factors causing the risk of stroke and cardiovascular diseases.

The elaborate production process behind drops of pure brown rice oil

The prerequisite in the production process of brown rice oil is that the brown rice membrane must be processed and extracted immediately after being separated from the rice grain to preserve the maximum nutritional content. This means that the successful production of brown rice oil depends closely on the source of raw materials and the time of supply. Therefore, Vietnam's advantage is to own abundant raw material areas instead of having to import raw materials.

In addition, the production of brown rice oil requires a modern extraction technology system that not all businesses have the capacity to meet. The cost of building a brown rice oil extraction facility is relatively high, which is a major barrier for many businesses, even in developed countries like the US.

To get the bottle of pure Simply brown rice oil that Khoai Lang Thang held in the clip, the brand representative shared that the rice bran layer had to go through a complex 7-step extraction and refining process to remove impurities.

With this new video, Khoai Lang Thang not only brings the beauty of the quintessence of Vietnamese rice fields but also introduces a heart-healthy cooking ingredient that needs to be known to more people.
