Healthy Recipe Tips

Substituting with Healthier Ingredients

There could be healthier cooking methods that enhance the flavor of an exciting family recipe. Here are some examples:

• Brown rice is recommended over white rice. Why? With brown rice all nutrients are in tact and the body slowly absorbs it. It is unlike white rice which is stripped and polished, converts to sugar (from starch), and is quickly dumped into the blood stream. Brown rice can be sautéed with onion and/or garlic before adding water. This will help push flavor into the rice, making it more flavorful.
• Sauté using a tablespoon (or more) of water instead of oil. You could also add 1/2 teaspoon of Braggs Liquid Aminos® (see Healthy Ingredient Glossary). You will not miss it!
