Nutritional Information

  • Whole grain rices, like brown rice and wild rice, will be higher in fiber and vitamins and minerals, like iron, B vitamins and magnesium.
  • White rice will not have much fiber or as many vitamins and minerals, unless it has been enriched, which just means nutrients have been added back.  Read the label to find out if it has been enriched.
  • The fiber found in broccoli promotes gut health and heart health.
  • It helps support your immune system with the help of vitamin C.
