I love rice, It’s a staple in our kitchen and we serve rice with most of our meals! It’s always either potatoes, long grain rice, or brown rice. I think that brown rice is very different when compared to white rice, I mean, the texture, the taste, everything is so different! And obviously, the way it cooks is also different.
