1. Does ryza have added oils or other added
fats?
No. Ryza is made using whole grain un-milled brown rice. By using the
whole grain the natural oils are retained, making it unnecessary to add
other oils or fats to our beverage. That means ryza is lower in fat than
most other rice beverages that often have added oil.
