 Rice is a staple food for around 50% of the world's population. In addition to its slow-release carbohydrate energy, it also contains valuable nutrients including protein, minerals and B-vitamins. Unfortunately, the rice we get in Britain tends to be processed beyond recognition, resulting in a lower nutritional value. In addition, you can't always get things like sushi rice. |

Brown rice is wholegrain, unpolished rice. It has a higher fibre and mineral content than white rice, and is thus more nutritious. It has a rougher texture than white rice, which actually enhances the taste and makes it "grip" sauces more effectively. Cook brown rice for 5 minutes longer than white rice for a lovely soft consistency.  | |
