Where to start?

We can be part of the solution. It is as simple as giving Brown Rice a try and later on including it in our diet. As for myself, discovering brown rice was a coincidence. I wanted to stay fit and limit my rice consumption. As for the taste, Brown Rice tasted like corn. I was full on the first cup and I felt more energetic. I decided to shift for good. I also have a trick to add more water when cooking depending on the texture you want to achieve. You may go as high as one cup of Brown Rice is to three-five cups of water. This will vary on your preference and you can play with it from a little more chewy to a smoother texture. With that you don’t only benefit yourself by taking the healthier option, but you also help the community as a whole.
