In recent years, rice – once the heart of every meal – has found itself unfairly villainised. There are people who now try to skip rice, convinced that it leads to weight gain, high blood sugar, or sluggishness. But this “rice-free” approach may actually lead to a new problems – nutrient deficiencies, poor gut health, and low energy.
The truth is, rice is not the enemy. The problem lies in what kind of rice we eat, and how we balance our meals. This is why SōngHè Plus rice was created: to give Singaporeans a new way to enjoy rice, while reclaiming the nutrition that modern diets have lost.
For decades, rice has been labelled a “carb culprit.” Low-carb and keto diets have made many believe that rice equals instant weight gain. In reality, when eaten in moderation and as part of a balanced meal, rice remains one of the world’s cleanest and most reliable energy sources.
Rice is naturally gluten-free, easy to digest, and one of the most wholesome sources of energy found in nature. Properly fortified rice can also provide essential micronutrients that support overall health.
Modern lifestyles have also changed the way people eat. Many rely on quick fixes, skipping proper meals or replacing natural foods with protein shakes and synthetic supplements. In trying to “eat smarter,” we may actually leave our bodies undernourished.
Studies show that over two billion people worldwide lack important nutrients like iron, zinc, and folate, which are vital for healthy blood, immunity, and cell repair. These deficiencies can show up as fatigue, dull skin, brittle nails, and slower recovery.
Instead of reaching for pills or powders, nutritionists often recommend getting nutrients from real food, where they are naturally balanced and easier for the body to absorb. Supplements can help fill short-term gaps, but they’re never a true replacement for whole foods.
Staple foods like rice provide nutrients in their natural form, complete with supporting compounds that help your body use them efficiently.
That’s where SōngHè Plus makes a difference. It combines premium Thai Hom Mali fragrant rice with fibre-enriched grains fortified with four key nutrients — fibre, zinc, iron, and folate (Vitamin B9) — to create a simple, natural way to boost your nutrition without changing your daily routine.
And the best part? SōngHè Plus is still fragrant, fluffy, and naturally gluten-free. It tastes exactly like the rice you love — only better for your body.
Clean eating doesn’t mean cutting out the foods you enjoy. It’s about choosing foods that work with your body, not against it. SōngHè Plus lets you enjoy your rice and the nutrients you need — without the guilt, crash diets, or reliance on supplements.
By making one small, smarter swap, you can rebuild a stronger foundation of health that lasts. Because when you feel nourished from within, you live stronger, look better, and enjoy life more fully.
