superfood - brown rice. (looong) list of health benefits

[ophiuchus]

here it is, everything you could ever dream about knowing about brown rice, and even more beyond that . seriously though, i thought i knew a decent amount about grains but this blew me away. especially when it mentions the antioxidant content of grains; they are higher than most fruits! enjoy!

went to the co-op. got some.

tastes like wood and takes longer to boil.

soak it over-night. it'll cook in about 15-20 min. and will be more digestible/nutritious

I really enjoy eating brown rice. I refuse to eat any white rice and have for years. ** IJC . ... I wouldn't worry about how long it takes, although ophiuchus' idea is a good one, to soak it, I just put it on for about 40-45 minutes on low and it's done. I don't find it woody, and anything can be added, like soy, sweet and sour, cayene . . It makes a great stir fried rice with green veggies and egg or tofu. I find that the high fibre content is very good for digestion.

However, I have also begun eating a Sweet Black rice that I find to be even more nutritious than brown.

even something simple like adding a small amount of oil (coconut is amazing) or vegetable stock goes far to makes it absolutely delicious.

yeah i could never go back to white rice. i've been hearing about this black rices health benefits for a while now too. interestingly enough, it is starchy enough that when cooked, it makes excellent sticky rice for sushi, and the the taste is great in my opinion. it can be a little harder to find, but definitely worth the purchase if possible.

salmon, soy sauce, brown rice and squash/asparagus/beans = my staple food for the past 6 months (well it used to be white rice).

I've noticed the same thing with breads - I can not even eat normal wheat bread anymore. I need the hearty oat multigrain stuff.

you should throw that in the recipe section when you have some time.
