Brown Rice

We used to mix white rice and brown rice in 1:1 ratio. The higher fiber content in brown rice make us excrete smoothly. We did not find >2 kg brown rice sold in Australia supermarket, so we ate straight white rice for a while.

The bad thing is that we start to have some excretion problem recently. We decided to buy 2 bags of 1.5 kg brown rice and mix with 5-7 kg white rice in last weekend. After several meals with white+brown rices, my excretion problem is gone today.

======================
Brown rice (or "hulled rice") is unmilled or partly milled rice, a kind of whole grain. A natural grain that remains unbleached. It has a mild nutty flavor, is chewier than white rice and becomes rancid more quickly, but is far more nutritious. Any rice, including sticky rice, long-grain rice, or short-grain rice, may be eaten as brown rice.
