It also has similar texture and taste as compared to real meat products and rich nutritional value. First, soy and pea protein contains high plant-based protein and is free of cholesterol and trans fat.

Brown rice is a kind of whole rice, which only the shell is removed. As brown rice retains its rice bran and germ, it contains more nutrients and has the following benefits:
1. Compared to white rice, brown rice has higher dietary fiber, which can stimulate the peristalsis of the intestine and help the body to detoxify and prevent constipation.
2. Brown rice is a medium glycemic food that can help increase satiety.
3. Brown rice contains various vitamins and minerals, such as vitamins B1, B2, E, iron, potassium, magnesium and zinc.
