Brown Rice

Brown Rice

Brown Rice - Cup (Rice, Brown)  We buy and eat only whole grain brown rice, like this or other varieties.  Brown rice retains the bran and germ which contain many of the nutrients and the fiber.  Brown rice also has more flavor, which some people describe as "nutty".  This is really the natural flavor of rice, which has been removed from "white rice" along with many of the nutrients.  The upper photo is an enlarged view of the brown rice.  The cup of rice (right) is actual size.  See nutritional charts below for raw and cooked brown rice.

Vegan FlagThe above recipe is in keeping with God's creation intent (Genesis 1:29-31): 'Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air and all the creatures that move on the ground-- everything that has the breath of life in it-- I give every green plant for food." And it was so. God saw all that he had made, and it was very good.' (NIV) Let no animal suffer or die that we may live!
