Is brown rice healthier than white rice?
It’s important to note that brown rice and white rice come from the exact grain, but the main difference is that brown rice has the bran and germ left intact, while white rice is processed to remove the bran and germ.
This processing removes most of the rice’s nutrients, including fiber, magnesium, and vitamins.
Brown rice, on the other hand, is considered a whole grain and has more of these nutrients intact.
While both types of rice can be part of a healthy diet, brown rice is often considered the better choice due to its greater nutritional value.

How do I make sure that the chicken is cooked fully?
Cooking chicken can be a delicious and satisfying meal, but it’s important to ensure it is fully cooked to avoid potential risks. You can do a few things to ensure the chicken is fully cooked.
First, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the chicken. The USDA recommends cooking chicken to an internal temperature of 165°F to kill harmful bacteria.
Second, make sure that the juices of the chicken run clear, not pink or red. Finally, if you’re cooking chicken with bones, ensure the bone is no longer pink and is hot to the touch.
Following these steps, you can safely and confidently serve a perfectly cooked chicken dish.
