General Information About Rice Grains (including rice) are finally getting the attention they deserve as they move into the nutritional spotlight. The new USDA dietary recommendations highlight grains as an essential part of a healthy, whole foods diet. With their impressive fiber, complex carbohydrates and protein content, they are, without a doubt, some of Mother Nature's most perfect foods.
Types of Rice Brown Rice has a chewy texture and a nutty flavor. The cooking time is longer for brown rice than for white rice. Because some of the hull is left on brown rice, it has more fiber than white rice. Plain brown rice and basmati brown rice are available.

Add the rinsed rice to the Cooking Pot. NOTE: The Toastmaster capacity to cook between 1 and 3 Rice Scoops of dry white rice. 3. Add cold water to the Cooking Pot according to the amount and type of rice to be cooked.
