Brown Rice v White Rice?

[thecas]

I like to put raisins and honey in my brown rice. The raisins add some extra fiber (as I'm not a HUGE veggie fan), and the honey changes the taste, making it a bit sweeter. Honey is great for post workout as well.

Do you add the honey when cooking as part of the ingredients or after, as sort of a sauce?

True, but Tank666 is in the UK & when the Brits say "Asian" they're generally referring to someone of Indian or Pakistani descent.

Thank you! In UK we would say South East Asian but too much of a mouthful.

For the original poster - a great compromise between brown and white is 'Haiga' rice. Its basically a middle ground between brown and white, but imo tastes better than either (similar to white with a bit more flavor).

It preserves the rice germ and a bit more bran, and thus the higher nutritional profile as compared to white. You cook it just like white rice in the rice cooker.





Also, here's a simple pic explaining the components of rice:

Anyway, my wife and I switched over to Haiga rice and haven't eaten white rice since...tastes better and better for you. Hope that helps!

hey thanx a lot will check that out!
