A rice bran-like composition having higher bioactivity is provided by modifying rice bran. A rice bran-like composition contains a mixture of (1) defatted rice bran obtained by pressing rice bran to remove oil and (2) rice bran oil obtained by refining pressed rice bran oil, wherein a weight ratio of defatted rice bran content to rice bran oil content is 85:15 to 60:40. A food contains (1) defatted rice bran and (2) rice bran oil in a weight ratio of 85:15 to 60:40. Preferable components of the rice bran-like composition are as follows: the fat content is 20 to 40 wt.%, the protein content is 10 to 17 wt.%, the carbohydrate content is 5 to 21 wt.%, the ash content is 7 to 13 wt.%, and the fiber content is 20 to 32 wt.%. The present invention provides an effect of reducing or suppressing an increase in visceral fat； an effect of reducing or suppressing an increase in neutral fat in blood； and an effect of reducing or suppressing an increase in blood cholesterol, all the effects being superior to those of rice bran.
