In Doy’s garden

Log it in Doydum and a row of wheat sprouts in today’s bed in front of Doy’s house.

Brown rice keeps its bran layer, so it is chewier and nuttier than white rice and takes longer to cook. It is served plain as a side, in grain bowls and salads, or in place of white rice in pilaf.

As with any rice, use the cooked weight here, and butter or oil in the pot counts on top.
