Whole grain brown rice cooked in the pressure cooker to reduce the phydic acid, serve with black beans (also pressure cooked) with celery, red onion and mushrooms. That is one of my favorite dishes of all time and not expensive at all.

[@mayashine5471]

I agree 100%. It depends on our body and how we prepare it. As a person with loads of food allergies, I can bravely say that white Basmati or Jasmine rice are the only grains that are very gentle towards my digestive system. However, for the people with poor digestive system like me and for an easy digestion, I recommend to wash the rice 2 or 3 times, then soak the rice in cold water two hours before cooking to rehydrate it. Then you can start the cooking process.

It comes down to how much rice and what you pair with. East Asians (Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese) usually eat rice with protein source (traditionally not much fry, mostly boil, steam, braise) and vegetables, a lot of vegetables. We also consume fermented sides like kimchi, natto, miso.

regarding arsenic in brown rice, I just use my coffeemaker (don't drink coffee anymore, it leaches magnesium out of your heart) to clean my rice. I put in a cup of b/rice instead of coffee and since my maker has capacity for 12 cups, I utilize that amount. I can't tell you how much arsenic is removed exactly, but it is quite a high percentage. don't forget to thoroughly flush the rice with water before cooking it. pretty simple.

Though you skimmed through that "depends on how you cook the rice" but you did not mention any process of cooking it. It will be like a replacement for mashed potatoes when served with other viands. Here are just some ways of simple rice cooking: Method#1: Boiling In a pot, rinsing the rice gently with clean water and drain it. (Do it 2 times) For 1 to 3.5 cups of rice, add the same amount of water plus half a cup; For 4 to 6 cups of water, add the same amount of water plus 1 cup. (amount of water normally depends on the variety of rice) Put it on top of the stove to cook on high heat When it starts to boil, put heat to low and mix it once for fluffier, softer rice. When the top is dry, remove from fire. If cooked in a rice cooker, just cook and leave it there until the top of the rice is dry. Method#2: Frying Left-Over rice can be fried in a wok/frying pan. Mash the left-over rice until soft (add some water to soften it; and salt to taste (about a teaspoon)). Fry (until lightly brown) some crushed and chopped-up garlic in a wok with little vegetable oil. Add the mashed rice into the wok and fry it until golden brown. Method#3: Frying (with added ingredients) Repeat Method#2 except the last line. (you can change the vegetable oil with margarine to have different flavor) you can stir fry other ingredients like chopped-up hot dogs, green peas, carrots, bell pepper, sliced onions, bacon tidbits, sliced chorizo hot dog, salami. spring onions. (Though its better that you have but it does not mean you need all of these at the same time; but whatever is there, it will do. Its up to your taste anyway) Add the mashed rice into the wok and fry it until golden brown. Add one egg or two (beaten) to the fried rice mixture, mix it and stir-fry some more until its golden yellow in color. Its now a complete meal in itself

Never missed a day of school, perfect attendance, never sick, when we moved to the US and continued on our Haitian diet, doctors always amazed by our blood work and would always ask my mom what did she feed us. American fake processed food is the real culprit I believe, not rice. My Haitian grandmother is 89, eats white rice every single day of her life, had 12 children, no morning sickness. Hard for me to buy into this white rice is bad phenomenon, even though I don't eat it as much as I used to when I was growing up and my mom did all the cooking, maybe fake food is the real culprit.

[@kingdomwithinu6550]

Sprout the rice yourself using an "Easy Sprout" ($13. Amazon). Super easy...takes about 2 days. Don't let it sprout too long or it will taste bitter. Sprouting removes SOME of the phytic acid. Rinse the sprouted rice well and cook it with some coconut oil and salt. Then put it into the fridge for at least 12 hours. The refrigeration changes the molecular structure of the rice to become a resistant starch which cuts carbs, sugar and calories in half. Also, resistant starch feeds the good bacteria in your GUT.

Brown rice is often considered a healthier rice than white rice, but white rice may actually be the healthier choice.

[@AlexKinPongLo]

+Vette gaddia This is because the American food is all high in meat or protein, as well as the fast junk food. The main protein sources of Japanese and Chinese are the beans and tofu made by beans, or from the fruits. Actually, humans do not need too much protein, only 200g a day. Some kind of vegetables and fruits are high in protein which mean don't need many meats. As protein induces radicals and radicals cause ageing and cancer. Other than health problem, cows cause global warming and desertification, as cow consumes huge among of grass and their farts contain CO2. So westerners should go raw and raw diet. If not all, the method of American lifestyle is not sustainable for the global development. American lifestyle means the over consuming, materialistic life, sex and cash.

Roxette Arisa Hi, are you following Dr Axe?

[@hoosierproud7718]

@@drjoshaxe can you sprout rice yourself?

[@SAMBUT]

have seen just a couple of your vids and I noticed that you are openminded to what different camps have to offer and combine it with some deeper research that certainly makes sense - spouting brown rice... excellent option.

Everytime I eat rice in general, it jacks up my weight by beyond measure. It’s unbelievable. Since I stay away from rice, it has been way much easy on my weight. Rice is so tasty to eat but it does not work well for me in terms of health.

Rice for many people around the world is life. Sticky rice or sweet rice used for sushi is amazing. Its my go to food for long runs

[@apers5do]

The answer should have been No Unless you eat this super uncommon and premium rice 😂

[@DesertRainSH]

is soaking for 8 hours sufficient to unlock the nutrients? or does it need to be sprouted completely?

[@Suchet1114]

If you want to stay healthy. Avoid all rice, no matter its age, race or colour.

[@Treelbeats]

I prefer Wild Rice which is actually black Rice. Taste the same etc. if I'm out at a restaurant I choose Brown Rice just because I haven't found a restaurant that serves Wild Rice

[@GsoozEnt]

Um.... for the naysayers correlation does not mean causation.... youre missing the point here.Anythimg refined is generally not good for you. He never said all white rices but refined rices.... i supposed i could drink nothing but soda my entire life around a whole foods healing diet and one might be inclined to say that Soda is healthy and helps one live a long mostly healthy life full of vitality... by isolating the fact that consuming nothing but soda
