I have to admit, I grew up thinking of brown rice as "hippy food"
(sorry, I was born in the early '60's). I started trying to cook
healthier a bit over a year ago, so I bit the bullet and gave it a
try in a crock pot recipe. It's great!! It's just white rice with
the fiber intact, has a gentle nutty flavor, and so much healthier.
I'm starting to look closer at other foods I've missed due to my
ignorance...
