If you haven’t thought of adding rice to your diet, now may be a great time to do so. Contrary to popular opinion, it isn’t the enemy that people make it out to be. In fact, this belief couldn’t be further from the truth—especially if you’re eating the healthy types. One of those types is Cahokia rice.
Cahokia rice is different from its carb-rich counterparts. Instead, this grain is loaded with protein. As if that isn’t enough to entice you, this type doesn’t need much heat or water to cook and takes a lesser time to do so compared to other types. It comes in white and brown variants, so feel free to go with your preference here.
Can Cahokia rice be eaten like its counterparts? Absolutely! You can enjoy a bowl (or two) of this healthy grain in every meal. We’ve compiled some dishes you may want to follow if you want to make the switch to Cahokia. Don’t worry about taste because all these don’t lack in that department.
