msSlim began with a very domestic question: how can a mother and a sister with diabetes still eat rice? One of the founders carried that question around for three or four years, and the answer came from a research team of several nationalities: Dr Thavarajah (Sri Lanka), with a cooking method that lowers calories; Dr Hiroki Kotabe (a Japanese-American), who leads R&D with a traditional Japanese rice-cooking process; Dr Sonia (University of Indonesia) on nutrition; and engineer Hồ Quang Cua, father of the ST25 rice variety, who supplies the Sóc Trăng purple brown rice.

"Obesity and diabetes are the diseases of our age," says Nguyễn Duy Linh, the chief executive. "We take a different approach, with very real Vietnamese rice grains."

Fresh rice, Japanese technology, Sóc Trăng grain

Each 135-gram msSlim rice cake is 48 per cent purple brown rice, 8 per cent mixed beans and 3 per cent Japanese shiitake extract, slow-cooked Japanese-style for 36 hours so that part of the starch converts into resistant starch, then IQF flash-frozen in wrapping paper imported from Japan. The user simply microwaves it for three to five minutes or steams it for 10 to 15. The company says the rice has roughly half the calories of white rice and a low glycaemic index. The factory, in Thuận An, Bình Dương, is certified to ISO 22000:2018; the msSlim trademark is registered in Vietnam, the United States and Australia.

On the market since late 2020, msSlim is now stocked by Co.opMart, 7-Eleven, GS25, Annam Gourmet, Organic Mart and shops in Ho Chi Minh City, Hà Nội, Hải Phòng and Đà Nẵng. In late 2023, the product was presented to the delegation of Vietnam's Honorary Consulate in Marseille, with a view to taking Vietnamese rice to France.

At Green Business Matching Day

The msSlim booth at Lumi Hub, with its purple insulated bags, was where many guests held a frozen "rice cake" in their hands for the first time. For partners from India, where diabetes is among the heaviest burdens on public health, msSlim's story of rice for diabetics may well have been one of the most relatable of the day.

msSlim is one of the 21 sponsors of the programme.

msSlim: bữa cơm cho người tiểu đường, nấu chậm 36 giờ từ gạo lứt tím Sóc Trăng

Cơm Độ Dưỡng msSlim · Công ty TNHH Mancom · Bình Dương – TP. Hồ Chí Minh · msslim.vn

msSlim bắt đầu từ một câu hỏi rất gia đình: làm sao để mẹ và chị gái bị tiểu đường vẫn được ăn cơm? Một thành viên trong nhóm sáng lập mang câu hỏi ấy đi tìm câu trả lời suốt ba, bốn năm, và câu trả lời đến từ một nhóm nghiên cứu nhiều quốc tịch: TS Thavarajah (Sri Lanka) với phương pháp nấu giảm năng lượng, TS Hiroki Kotabe (Mỹ gốc Nhật) phụ trách R&D với quy trình nấu cơm truyền thống Nhật, TS Sonia (Đại học Indonesia) về dinh dưỡng, và kỹ sư Hồ Quang Cua, cha đẻ giống gạo ST25, người cung cấp gạo lứt tím Sóc Trăng.

"Béo phì và tiểu đường là căn bệnh thời đại," ông Nguyễn Duy Linh, Giám đốc điều hành, nói. "Chúng tôi tiếp cận theo hướng khác, bằng những hạt gạo rất thật của Việt Nam."

Cơm tươi công nghệ Nhật, hạt gạo Sóc Trăng

Mỗi bánh cơm msSlim 135 gram gồm 48% gạo lứt tím, 8% đậu các loại và 3% chiết xuất nấm shiitake Nhật, được nấu chậm 36 giờ theo kiểu Nhật để một phần tinh bột chuyển thành tinh bột kháng, rồi cấp đông nhanh IQF trong giấy gói nhập từ Nhật. Người dùng chỉ cần hâm vi sóng 3–5 phút hoặc hấp 10–15 phút. Công ty công bố cơm giảm khoảng một nửa năng lượng so với cơm trắng và có chỉ số đường huyết thấp. Nhà máy đặt tại Thuận An, Bình Dương, đạt ISO 22000:2018; nhãn hiệu msSlim đã được bảo hộ tại Việt Nam, Mỹ và Úc.

Ra thị trường từ cuối năm 2020, msSlim nay có mặt ở Co.opMart, 7-Eleven, GS25, Annam Gourmet, Organic Mart và các cửa hàng tại TP. Hồ Chí Minh, Hà Nội, Hải Phòng, Đà Nẵng. Cuối năm 2023, sản phẩm được giới thiệu với Đoàn Lãnh sự danh dự Việt Nam tại Marseille, với mong muốn đưa cơm Việt sang Pháp.

Tại Green Business Matching Day

Gian hàng msSlim với những túi giữ nhiệt màu tím ở Lumi Hub là nơi nhiều khách mời lần đầu được cầm trên tay một "bánh cơm" đông lạnh. Với các đối tác Ấn Độ, nơi tiểu đường là một trong những gánh nặng y tế lớn nhất, câu chuyện cơm cho người tiểu đường của msSlim có lẽ là một trong những câu chuyện dễ chạm nhất trong ngày.

msSlim là một trong 21 nhà tài trợ của chương trình.

Tại lễ tri ân cuối chương trình, msSlim được Ban Tổ chức vinh danh cùng 20 nhà tài trợ khác, với sự chứng kiến của ông Mohan Ramesh Anand (Nhà sáng lập & CEO Canopus Group), anh Thao Lê (Nhà sáng lập Ăn Chay TV) và anh Nguyễn Tiến Tuyến (Nhà sáng lập & CEO Chay Vietnam).

Green Business Matching Day Vietnam do INCHAM đồng tổ chức với Canopus, Ăn Chay TV và Chay Vietnam, với sự hỗ trợ từ phía Tổng Lãnh sự quán Ấn Độ tại TP. Hồ Chí Minh, thuộc Bộ Ngoại giao Ấn Độ.
