Perfect Brown Rice
Brown Rice is such an important part of your diet and so you want to get it right.
Ideally, a macrobiotic diet will consist of 50 percent grains and you have a full range of options to use as there are so many different varieties of grains: barley, buckwheat, polenta. Grains can be made into a breakfast porridge/cereal, burgers or patties or balls, a life sustaining salad, flat bread. We explain how to cook in the Pressure Cooker, the Thermomix or the Boiling Method. You can also use a Rice Cooker.
Take care to check out the provenance of your grains so that you are getting exactly what you need, both energetically and nutritionally.
Some options are www.riderau.com who have the best produce, price point and deliver to your door.
You can also purchase from www.goodness.com.au and they have excellent produce, price point and they are good people.
