I have been working on decreasing the amount of white rice from
my diet to make it healthier. As a Latino, my family likes rice with all meals,
so I have tried to introduce brown rice in my family diet. Although this change
should benefit us a lot, my family doesn't like the new rice. I had
already switched from white bread to whole grain bread and that change was OK,
but now my family hasn't been very happy about the rice. What else is there? |

Try a variety of long grain rice or
other forms of starch, like bulgur wheat. |
If you
would like to continue to eat white rice while increasing the nutrient value of
your food, you could switch to basmati or long-grain white rice as an
alternative to brown rice. Basmati rice has an awesome flavor and is quite
aromatic. I always double-wash basmati, to remove all of the excess starch, and
the result is an amazingly fluffy rice. If you are concerned with taste and
also your family's opinion, try basmati or jasmine rice. They both are loaded with nutrients and much
healthier than short grain white rice. Additionally, you can add saffron and
sea salt to make it a flavorful "yellow rice." Just be sure the
ingredients do not list MSG. |
