White rice is a staple in many diets but often lacks essential nutrients. With a few simple tweaks, you can make it healthier and more suitable for a balanced diet.
Thoroughly wash and soak rice for 2 hours to lower its glycemic index (GI), helping to prevent blood sugar spikes.
Skim off excess starch and impurities during cooking to make the rice more diabetic-friendly.
Adding a bay leaf while cooking enhances digestion and adds beneficial nutrients.
A teaspoon of coconut oil reduces the glycemic index, making the rice better for those with insulin resistance.
Squeeze lemon juice at the end to improve nutrient absorption and add a tangy flavour.
