Low in fat: Long grain rice is naturally low in fat, making it a good choice for those watching their fat intake.
Gluten-free: It’s naturally gluten-free, making it suitable for people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.
Good source of energy: Rich in carbohydrates, it provides a steady source of energy.
Contains essential vitamins and minerals: Includes B vitamins, iron, and small amounts of zinc and magnesium.
Low sodium content: Beneficial for those managing high blood pressure or heart conditions.
Aids in digestion: The fiber content helps promote healthy digestion and regular bowel movements.
Weight management: Its low calorie density can be beneficial for weight control when consumed in moderation.
Blood sugar regulation: Has a lower glycemic index compared to short-grain rice, potentially helping with blood sugar control.

Versatile and easily digestible: It’s gentle on the stomach and can be incorporated into various dishes.
May reduce risk of chronic diseases: As part of a balanced diet, it may contribute to reducing the risk of some chronic diseases.Remember, these benefits are most pronounced when long grain rice is consumed as part of a balanced, varied diet.
Individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity (although rice is naturally gluten-free, cross-contamination can occur during processing)
People with diabetes or pre-diabetes, as rice can cause rapid spikes in blood sugar levels
Those on a low-carb or ketogenic diet, as rice is high in carbohydrates
Individuals with metabolic syndrome or insulin resistance
People trying to lose weight, as rice is calorie-dense
Those with a rice allergy (rare, but it does exist)
Individuals with certain digestive disorders, such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), who may be sensitive to FODMAPs
People concerned about arsenic exposure, especially infants and young children (as rice can contain higher levels of arsenic compared to other grains)
Those with a history of kidney stones, as rice contains oxalates which can contribute to stone formation
Individuals on a low FODMAP diet, depending on their specific dietary restrictionsIt’s important to note that for most people, consuming long grain rice in moderation as part of a balanced diet is perfectly fine. Always consult with a healthcare professional or registered dietitian for personalized advice regarding your diet.

Explore the Science and Benefits of Tolerase® G.
Relief from Gluten Sensitivity
In the fight against gluten, there is a unique supplement that stands out: Little Helpers anti-gluten pills with 100% Tolerase® G.
This specific enzyme, Tolerase® G, a patented endopeptidase specific for proline, was developed by Royal DSM and has been scientifically proven to be effective in breaking down gluten residues ( 1) . Furthermore, research has shown that Aspergillus niger prolyl endoprotease (AN-PEP), an enzyme closely related to Tolerase® G, can break down gluten so effectively that it barely reaches the duodenum, potentially eliminating gluten toxicity ( 2) ( 3 ) .
On this page we explain why we are so enthusiastic about this supplement, supported by scientific research.
What is Gluten?
Gluten is a group of proteins found primarily in grains such as wheat, barley, and rye. These complex proteins give shape, strength, and texture to bread and other grain products. However, gluten is difficult to digest because it is rich in proline, a non-essential amino acid. This is why about 13% of the world’s population is sensitive to gluten in their diet (1).
How Tolerase® G Works
It is important to note that Tolerase G is designed to have optimal activity in the difficult conditions of the stomach. Its effectiveness on the digestion of gluten in the stomach and duodenum has been scientifically proven ( 1 ).
Studies have shown that a newly identified prolyl endoprotease derived from Aspergillus niger can effectively break down gluten proteins. This enzyme works optimally at a pH of 4–5, remains stable at pH 2, and is completely resistant to digestion by pepsin ( 2 ). Furthermore, research has shown that Aspergillus niger prolyl endoprotease (AN-PEP) accelerates the breakdown of gluten in the stomach so much that very little gluten reaches the duodenum ( 3 ). This suggests that co-administration of AN-PEP with a meal containing gluten could potentially eliminate gluten toxicity, allowing people to (occasionally) abandon their strict gluten-free diet ( 3 ).
