08. Brown rice

Brown rice has a nutty flavor. Top rice with grilled, steamed or stir-fried veggies and lean protein or add to cold salads, casseroles, soups, or stews. Enhance the flavour of plain rice with herbs, spices, onions, garlic and fruit zest.

Brown rice contains Vitamin B, Magnesium, Folic acid, Manganese, Iron, Protein, fiber and more nutrients.

Brown rice is far more nutritious than white rice. The germ and bran layers are retained on brown rice, leaving them packed with vitamin E, B vitamins and minerals, as well as fibre and protein. Rich in complex carbohydrates, low in fat, and packed with fiber, brown rice promote healthy waistlines protecting against heart disease, cancer, and obesity. The rich fibre content of whole grain rice helps to prevent diabetes and manage blood sugars in those who already have diabetes. It also aids in bowel function and helps to combat intestinal diseases such as irritable bowel syndrome. Its vitamin E and B vitamins further protect the heart and reduce the risk of cancer. The minerals iron, copper and zinc support a strong immune system, while the minerals magnesium and phosphorous support strong bones.
