has been the culinary foundation for many of the world's oldest cultures. Rice was first grown in the American Colonies
in the late seventeenth century. The two
main classifications of rice is white and brown. White rice is less nutritious, as much of the
brand, fiber, nutrients and the rice gems have been removed. White rice is quicker to prepare and has a
rather bland flavor. Brown rice on the
other hand has a nutty, rich flavor and requires longer cooking time. Brown rice retains most of its nutritional
values, which include a limited amount of protein, but the protein quality is
excellent because of the high levels of amino acids. Rice is loaded with carbohydrates and
includes nutrients, such as B Vitamins, iron, phosphorus and magnesium.

rice is to cook it in an assortment of liquids, such as stocks, juices, or with
wine. another easy flavor enhancer is to
use different spices and herbs. You can
also add cut up fruits or vegetables, like carrots, celery, apples or pears to
rice as it cooks. You can even add
slivered nuts, dried fruit or chilis for an easy yet delicious option.
