Featured Ingredients
Brown Rice
Brown rice is a whole grain that is processed just to remove the inedible outer husk. When the husk is removed, brown rice can be cooked and eaten like white rice.
Brown rice has a chewy texture and nutty flavor.
Unlike white rice, which is missing many of the nutrients found in the germ and bran layers, brown rice is a good source of fiber, vitamins, and minerals.
Brown rice is also lower on the glycemic index than white rice, so it is considered a healthier than white rice.
Egg
An egg is composed of a yolk and egg white, enclosed by a thin shell.
The yolk is the yellow part of the egg and contains most of the fat and cholesterol.
The egg white is the clear, protein-rich part of the egg.
Eggs are a good source of protein, vitamins, and minerals. They are also low in calories and fat.
