It tastes great and you ofcourse get all the health benefits of unpolished rice. Brown rice has a high fibre content and is believed to control blood sugar and cholestrol in the body. Eating brown rice also reduces the chances of you getting constipated. Many people are worried about cooked brown rice being hard and stiff, there is an easy way to get over this probelm. When you cook brown rice, soak the rice in water (before cooking) for around 20 to 25 minutes. Turn the rice cooker on after the rice has soaked for that time. If you find it hard to eat brown rice for the first time, mix 1 proportion of white rice and 1 proportion of brown rice when cooking. You probably need not pre-soak the white rice before cooking.
