GENERAL INFORMATION

Rice is grown on marshy land that floods easily. It does not need to be
milled or ground; only the outer husks must be removed, leaving
behind what is known as brown or whole rice, the most nutritious of
rices.
Information has recently been published about more healthful ways
to eat, by consuming less fat, less protein and more complex carbohy-
drates in our diets. Because brown rice is about 8% protein, 87% carbo-
hydrates and almost no fat, it is a perfect ingredient in a healthful diet.
Because rice is a valuable source of carbohydrates, it is starchy by
nature. To obtain fluffier, less starchy rice, you can rinse the rice before
cooking. But by rinsing or soaking the rice, you lose some of the
vitamins, which are water soluble. Please refer to your rice package
directions for specific instructions.

TYPES OF RICE

Brown Rice - Contains more vitamin B complex, iron and calcium and
takes longer to cook than white rice. Its flavor is nutty and its texture is
chewy. (See Cooking Chart.)
