a kind of whole grain. It is chewier than white rice and is far more
nutritious.

and 219% more magnesium than White rice. With 19% more protein, brown
rice is a more balanced food. It is noteworthy that brown rice has a
low Glycemic Index, 55 compared to white rice’s 70. (The
development of diabetes later in life has been linked to the
overconsumpution of foods with a high Glycemic Index.)
Improving
Environment In
addition to health brown basmati rice also aids in improving
environment. Due to less processing of rice, less energy required.
There's also the issue of the synthetic vitamins added back in -
produced in laboratories and factories from a variety of chemicals;
and these sorts of processes are well known for their negative impact
on the environment.
Cooking Instructions Put rice and water together in a pot
with a lid. Use the ratio of 2 cups water to 1 cup rice. Set the heat to maximum, and bring the
rice/water to a boil uncovered. Then put the lid on the pot, and
reduce the heat to low/simmer. If your lid has a steam valve, keep
it closed. Let the rice simmer for 20 minutes. Turn off the heat, and let the rice
sit in the covered pot for another 10 minutes. Eat
and enjoy.
