Frequently Asked Questions

Why is it difficult to cook brown rice?

The entire grain, including the fibrous bran, germ, and endosperm, is present in brown rice. Brown rice takes longer to cook (nearly twice as long as white rice) and has a more chewy texture since the bran is still present.

What makes brown rice taste better?

My greatest advice for making tasty brown rice is to simply substitute a high-quality stock or broth for the water. Brown rice can be easily seasoned as it cooks with chicken, beef, vegetable, or any other broth or stock.

Why is brown rice better than white?

In general, brown rice is more nutrient-dense than white rice. It contains more fibre, magnesium, and other nutrients than white rice, which is artificially enhanced with nutrients. Speak with your nutritionist if you want to include rice in your diet but are unsure if it is healthy for you.
