This Tasty Brown Rice just might become a new family favorite…just sayin’! You never know until you try. We have plenty of white rice lovers in our homes but this is a great way to mix in a different rice once in a while. You’ll love all the texture it has! Our brown rice can be served as a side with your meal or if you are looking for a light dinner, it could even pass as your meal. It is hearty and loaded with flavor.
