New Grains in 7 Grain Menu: Long Grain Brown Rice

Rice is a basic grain for most gluten free products. We use Cajun Country Long Grain Brown Rice which is grown and produced in Louisiana. We mill it ourselves to make sure our customers get the freshest brown rice flour available. Brown rice has much higher levels of many vitamins and minerals than white rice.

It’s an excellent source of manganese and selenium. Just one cup of cooked brown rice provides 88% of your daily need for manganese, a mineral that helps us digest fats and get the most from the proteins and carbohydrates we eat.

Studies indicate that whole grain brown rice may cut diabetes risk, lower cholesterol, helped maintain a healthy weight. It is a natural whole grain rice with nothing but the husk removed, so it retains all bran.

We developed few delicious new gluten free recipes based on brown rice flour: Brown Rice Millet Bread, Brown Rice Biscotti with Flax Seeds and Oat Bran Apple Cinnamon Muffins. Check them out when you are at the Covington or Slidell Farmer’s Market next time.
