Brown Rice is a staple in my family's diet. I it a nourishing food rich in fiber, manganese, magnesium, and selenium. Brown rice is said to be good for the heart, it lowers cholesterol and also said to help you lose weight. There are many other benefits as well. So replace the white rice with a healthier alternative. (And a tastier one two)
