Like other whole grains, brown rice has more vitamins, minerals, fiber, and phytochemicals that may help lower your risk of heart disease, diabetes, and fiverticulosis. BUT many people do not like the 45 minutes it takes to cook. If that is YOU - check out Uncle Ben's Whole Grain Brown Ready Rice. It has already been thoroughly cooked by Ben, so by the time it reaches your kitchen, all you have to do is microwave it for 90 second right in the pouch. the rice tastes as fluffy and nutty as it would had you cooked it the old fashioned way.

Uncle Ben adds no salt or artificial flavors or colors. And while the rice does contain a touch of partially hydrogenated soy oil, there is only a negligible 0.05 grams of trans fat in each serving. If Ready Rice's small (8.8 ounce) bag is not enough to feed your family, Ben offers 10 minute Instant Whole Grain Brown Rice in a 14 ounce box. When cooked, it makes more than 3 times as much as you will get out of a pouch.

Not sure what to do with brown rice? Add some sauteed veggies or rinsed black beans. Pair it with chili. Stuff it in peppers or squach. Swap it for white rice in your pilaf. Think of it as a substitute for mashed potatoes. Who needs rutrient stripped, fiber poor white rice when brown rice is ready when you are?
