Tasty Grains
Brown rice is the healthier version of rice that has a light nutty flavor and chewy texture. The bran is left on these rice grains, which gives them a brown color and added nutrients that can help lower your risk for diabetes and heart disease. And when brown rice shows up in everything from stuffed peppers to stir-fries to soup, it's a healthy, tasty change you can stick with.
