Fortified Rice Kernels (FRK) are artificially manufactured rice-like grains produced using broken rice flour blended with a premix of essential micronutrients such as iron, folic acid, vitamin B12, and sometimes zinc and other vitamins; these kernels are designed to look, feel, and cook like natural rice and are blended with regular rice in a fixed ratio (commonly 1:100) to provide a safe, effective, and affordable means of combating malnutrition and micronutrient deficiencies, especially iron-deficiency anemia, on a large scale without altering the taste, texture, or appearance of the staple food.
