Ever stopped and actually read the ingredients in that rice side dish you always buy? What exactly IS all that stuff that's 2 lines long and you'd need some kind of degree to decipher? No clue?
If you don't know what it is, you probably shouldn't be eating it. Try buying a big bag of plain brown rice. It's by the bags of plain dried beans, or some stores offer it in bulk bins. Easy to cook, even though it takes a while longer than instant or white rice. You can divide it into meal size portions and freeze it, I fill sandwich size storage containers and freeze those. Stacks well so it doesn't take up too much space in the freezer, thin means it thaws quickly, and it holds about the right amount for 1 small family dinner.
To make a great economical and healthy side dish, just toss it with a little oil and vinegar, parmesan and fresh herbs, or chopped tomato and cilantro. About 1000 times tastier than the Mystery Box, better for you and better for your wallet!
