Make It Brown For Fiber
To up the nutrition in your diet, replace white jasmine rice with brown jasmine rice. A 1/4-cup of uncooked brown jasmine rice has 2 grams of fiber, while the white rice has none. Most Americans don't meet the daily requirements of fiber. Adult women need 25 grams a day and men need 38 grams a day; the average intake is just 15 grams. Fiber in food not only promotes bowel function, but it also improves blood lipid profiles and aids in blood sugar control.
