Nutrition Tip 
Brown rice is a whole grain rice. This means it contains all parts of the grain, the bran, germ, and endosperm. Swapping whole grains for refined grains may offer a more nutrient dense option
Mexican-influenced Spanish rice is usually red in color because it is cooked with tomato sauce. In Mexico, it is often referred to as "red rice".
