La Organic Brown Rice Drink of Salvia (Materviva brand) is a vegetal oenological creation of rare purity and elegance: consisting exclusively of ground Italian brown rice (6%), cooked in water with a pinch of whole sea salt, then filtered and packaged directly in glass bottle. A productive characteristic, this last one, which represents a courageous and distinctive eco-sustainable choice: the vast majority of plant-based drinks on the market are packaged in Tetra pack (composed of paper + plastic + aluminum, complex materials to be 100% recycled), while the glass bottle è infinitely recyclable, fully preserves the taste and quality of the product, does not release substances into the contents and — above all — demonstrates genuine environmental awareness. The composition is radical and pure: no oil added, no added sugar, no additives (no preservatives, no emulsifiers, no thickeners). brown rice — heart of the drink — is the key ingredient of the macrobiotic philosophy which inspires all Salvia production: a complete, unrefined grain, rich in nutrients from the pericarp.

Brown rice has roots in Japanese macrobiotic philosophy.

Il brown rice (Oryza sativa in its unrefined form, in Japanese “genmai”) and the heart of macrobiotic philosophy, developed in Japan in the 20th century by the thinker Georges Ohsawa (1893-1966) starting from ancient Eastern wisdom. In macrobiotics, the brown rice represents the “shu shoku” — themain food, the cornerstone of the diet, the archetype of balance between yin and yang. Unlike the refined white rice — which has undergone the removal of the pericarp and the germ, losing much of the natural nutrients — the brown rice retains the whole grain, with all its richness of B vitamins (B1, B2, B3, B6, folates), dietary fibers, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Manganese, selenium, polyphenols and a precious substance called GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid), a neurotransmitter with calming effects on the nervous system. macrobiotic movement reached the West in the 60s and 70s, thanks to Ohsawa's disciples who spread the dietary practice based on whole grains, seasonal vegetables, legumes, algae and fermented foods in Europe and America.
