This is how to cook brown rice in the Thermomix. Wholewheat rice has a different cooking time than white rice, so it is essential to check how long you need to cook it and how much liquid you need to use.

Thermomix makes it easier to cook wholegrain rice due to its controlled temperature and blades moving the water constantly.

Brown Rice vs White Rice

White rice is an edible grain crop of the species “Oryza sativa” grown in warm climates near the equator. Brown rice, on the other hand, is an agricultural product made initially by separating more nutritional components of rice from their bran and then grinding what’s left into smaller particles. As a result, dark rice has a higher nutritional value than white rice because of its outer layer of fibre-rich nutrients called vitamins and minerals.

Why brown rice is a healthy choice for your diet

Brown rice is a whole grain, meaning its bran and germ are intact.
There are several health benefits to eating dark rice regularly. It is rich in fibre which helps you feel full longer after meals while promoting healthy digestion. It’s also high in manganese, selenium, magnesium, phosphorus and thiamin, all nutrients necessary for maintaining overall health.
Brown rice is also low in fat and calories, making it a healthy choice for those watching their weight.

Storage Tips and Tricks
