I really love rice. I have been a rice eater since childhood. I could eat rice everyday along with broccoli and lentils.
During my teenage years in the 90’s I came across Near East brand boxes of rice in a local neighborhood health food store I used to frequent long before the product hit the major supermarkets and other stores.
Since then, I have loved their varieties of rice. Currently I do not eat them very often as I do not cook with salt and limit my salt intake with foods that contain salt. I have never had high blood pressure and would like to keep it that way as I grow older.
We all need an adequate number of salts and sugars in our body, but I try not to overdo it.
Anyway, last week I had two boxes- one box never does it for me the portion is too small I have to cook two boxes of the contents- of Near East brown rice pilaf.
It was delicious as usual.
Yesterday I purchased two boxes of the original rice pilaf then cooked it for dinner in the evening- and, of course my meal was again delicious as usual!
