Brown Rice

[lacoste]

What should the ingredients read on a package of brown rice. I think maybe Im buying the wrong one. I've been buying the uncle bens brown rice in a bag. The ingredients reads: Long grain parboiled brown rice. But i would think the fact that it is parboiled would mean it has lost some of the nutrients. Do all brown rices read the same thing?

parboiled means that it has bin partly cooked for you so cooking it takes less time.only way to cook rice and not lose any of its nutrients is to place it in a backing pain cover it with water 2 inch above then cover the pain with tin foil and back it....cooking brown rice this way takes "for ever" though so most people bowl rice and there for you have not lost any thing you were not going to
lose any way.

Stay away from pre-cooked, minute, or cooks in a bag in 15 minutes rice. They have all been stripped of nutriants and grains so they will cook faster. Cook your whole grain rice for 45 minutes and enjoy.

Personally, I think you are splitting hairs here. I wouldn't worry about loss of nutrients in parboiled brown rice - you should be patting yourself on the back for eating brown rice at all.

I've found that a rice steamer is THE best way to cook brown rice - always comes out perfectly no matter what........
