While our Avanti Brunch Rice is not spicy to the tongue, we do include two types of hot chili in the rice mix, red & yellow chili peppers, not to mention red sweet pepper powder as well. As they are simmered in the organic brown rice cooking pot, they release flavor and nutrition, but not much heat. According to Chili Pepper Madness, the benefits of chilis are numerous. Notably, it has been reputed for years that chilis are potent blood purifiers.

Next we have the dried green herbal powerhouses. Who knew regular use of dried herbs keeps us healthy and fit --- Well most folks in the medical professions from the beginning of time until the beginning of the 20th Century knew for real. Then the industrial revolution took over everything including the doctor's office and we lost the ability to see medicinal value in anything other than pills, tablets and capsules.
