Rice is such an easy-to-make, easy-to-store, affordable meal staple. Knowing how to cook it perfectly can save you time when you need to quickly put something together. But what’s even better, is that by simply adding leftover veggies, dried fruits and nuts, or protein, you can enhance the flavour of steamed rice and make it a sumptuous one-pot meal in itself. Or, it can even serve as an accompaniment to your other dishes.
Both brown and white rice basically come from the same grain, however, white rice goes through an extensive refining process. Brown rice is more of a whole grain (with the husk). It is said to contain a lot of essential vitamins and minerals including folate.
