how i came to love brown rice


It was almost a month or more since i tried again eating brown rice. I heard that it is healthier than white rice. and now that I read some info, i am now a believer of whole grains. I found that it have more benefits aside from fiber, the phyto chemicals in the grains which is removed when it is polished to white rice is a big difference. You may check this article to learn more.

In  my own experience, to adapt to this change, we have to be ready. White rice have this distinct characteristic of making you eat more and the moment you tried brown rice you won't feel that anymore. Maybe it is because of the fiber that makes you easily feel full. But to enjoy this, the way to prepare brown rice should be learned. Years ago, we tried eating brown rice but then we revert back because we cannot cook it well. It absorbs more water and it takes more time cooking to have that soft texture of rice. You should also prepare that it taste lesser than white rice. You can be accustomed to it and knowing its benefits, you will really try to live with it.
