California Organic Brown Rice

I just picked up some California organic brown rice from Massa Organics.  Greg Massa and Raquel Krach are former tropical biologists who wanted to get involved with sustainable, organic farming and started brown rice production along the Sacramento River near Chico. 

Brown rice has valuable antioxidants, B vitamins, vitamin E, magnesium, iron and fiber.  In addition, eating whole grains has been shown to reduce the risks of heart disease. 

This particular brown rice has a nice fresh flavor.  I used the leftovers to make rice cakes for breakfast, as suggested on their brochure.  Definitely a winner!
