Brown Rice and Me 5

A Few Things....

1 Choose organic.
Conventional brown rice may have more residue of pesticide and other chemicals than refined ones.

2 In fall and winter, choose short grain. Spring and summer, long grain.
In yin seasons, it’s better to take more yang energy, so short/round shaped rice is more suitable, while in yang season, yin energy---longer--- is better.

3 Chew well
brown rice is harder to digest, and could disturb your digestive system.
Chew 30 to 50 times per mouth full.

4 Add pinch of salt
this enhances the flavor : )
also to make some variations, add some other whole grains such as barley, red rice, black rice, buckweat, or sometimes azuki bean ----especially when the moon is full or new--- or black bean is good, too.
