Nutrition: Good source of vitamins A, C, and K. Contains antioxidants and may aid digestion.
Storage: Place stems in a jar of water, cover with a bag, and refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
🍚 Rice
- Rinse rice 2-3 times before cooking to remove excess starch.
- Use a 1:1.5 ratio of rice to water for fluffy results.
- Let rice rest covered for 10 minutes after cooking, then fluff with a fork.
Nutrition: Good source of energy and manganese. Brown rice adds fiber and B vitamins.
Storage: Dry rice lasts 2+ years. Cooked rice keeps 4-6 days refrigerated.
