Ingredients of the Month: Brown Rice and Apple Cider Vinegar

I've decided to switch from white rice to brown rice. I eat a lot of rice and I'd always figured that white rice was healthy. Not so! I learned that white rice is nothing but empty calories. I was a bit apprehensive about brown rice, not because of the taste but because I heard that it is a bit more tricky to cook. Anyway, I was so wrong!

The second ingredient I wanted to try is apple cider vinegar.

 I've heard so much about it from an online forum I frequent. It's purported to have lots of health benefits so I decided to give it a try and use it in my cooking. 
So far I've:



  • Used it as a hair rinse
  • Added a tablespoon of it to my brown rice to keep it fluffy
  • Used it as a fish marinade
  • Added some in my morning smoothie
  • Added a tablespoon to my evening rooibos tea. I also add a tablespoon of honey to it because it's a little sour, but I'm actually getting used to the sourness!
