Brown rice is very healthy and is a good alternative to pasta, white bread, and white rice. It is rich in selenium that can help reduce the risk of heart disease, cancer, and arthritis and helps you to lose weight. It is also abundant in manganese, fibre, and antioxidants. If you buy a good rice cooker, it will help reduce cooking time and cook brown rice perfectly. You may want to soak organic brown rice overnight before cooking for maximum absorption. It will result in better texture and quicker cooking times.
