The first thing I would be focusing on is Rice 🌾
I don't know if a lot of people have been as confused as I was on what kind of rice to eat. There are soooo many options out there. It's confusing.
I grew up knowing just one kind of rice. As I moved to my dorm in the university, I had to be more independent. Part of which included buying food for myself. The first time I went food shopping, the one thing that confused me the most was RICE. There were so many types. And, at that time I did not know the kind my mum always bought in the house.
I saw Jasmine rice, Wild rice, parboiled rice, Basmati rice, bomba, brown rice etc to name a few. Boy, was I confused. I had to make a second trip to the store with someone with a little more experience just to buy rice.
This is why I decided to start these series with the almighty rice.
1. Brown rice- OK. I know y'all are gonna be like, "hey, how is this a healthier alternative to rice". It has a mild, crunchy taste and is more nutritious than white rice. Actually, the reason I am starting with brown rice is for those that just want their rice. They do not need any alternatives. I am talking to people like me.
It has a mild, crunchy taste and is more nutritious than white rice. Brown rice still contains its hulls and bran.
The side hulls and brans provide “natural wholeness” to the grain and are rich in proteins, thiamine, calcium, magnesium, fiber, and potassium. For those trying to lose weight or those suffering from diabetes, brown rice can prove a healthful staple given its low glycemic rating which helps reduce insulin spikes.
Brown rice can be eaten the same way you eat white rice. The only difference is that it is tastier and healthier.
