Rice bran oil is obtained by cold pressing method from the hard, brown, oily layer between the outer hull of the rice and the rice kernel inside. This part is called "bran".

Rice today accounts for approximately 25% of the world's grain production. There are around 18,000 varieties in more than 100 countries. Asia, Africa and America are the leading continents in rice production, while India and Thailand are the most successful countries in rice bran oil production.

Although early archaeological evidence suggests that rice was domesticated in the Yangtze River Valley region of China, genetic evidence of rice suggests that rice began to be domesticated in the Pearl River valley region of Ancient China between 8200 and 13,500 years ago.

Although its exact homeland is not known, it is believed that rice was first cultivated in East Asia, India and China. Historical sources indicate that its cultivation gradually spread to Japan, Indonesia, Iran, and then to the Mediterranean region around 800 BC. Rice was brought to America in the mid-1600s and to Brazil in the mid-1700s.

In many cultures, religions and other belief systems, rice is a symbol of good luck, fertility and prosperity. In some cultures, rice is found on the bride and groom or their relatives in wedding ceremonies and rituals. In some other cultures, grooms ask their brides to give them rice pounded, usually on a plate made of banana leaves or on a handkerchief.

Rice Bran Oil has been used in Asia for over 2000 years. Historically, Japanese women added rice bran oil to their bath waters after discovering the ability of rice to cleanse, soften, moisturize, soothe, nourish and smooth the skin. Today, it continues to be used in soap and skin cream production, especially in Japan.

Rice Bran Oil offers us many benefits thanks to its high content of vitamin E and fatty acids.
