Since a lot of us are stocking up on lots of beans and rice as our dietary base, this site can help us mix and match different bean types with different dishes we might want to make. Great Northern beans don't make a mean burrito the way black beans do.
quote:During milling and polishing, most of the nutrients are lost. Therefore, almost all the rice processed in the United States is fortified with vitamins, and minerals. When you open the package, you see this fortification in the form of a powdery substance. If you wash the rice, you will be washing away the added nutrients. You may still want to pre-soak rice in the limited amount of water to increase heat conductivity of the grain to reduce cooking time. For this purpose, use 3/4 cup of plain water for each cup of rice.
