Hi, I’m Weis Dietitian Christina Pelletier with the Weis HealthyBites tip of the week.
Rice is one of the most versatile grains and a staple in many pantries. With its many varieties, there is
sure to be a way to incorporate rice into your meals.
- Brown rice is a whole grain and contains fiber, vitamins, and minerals for digestive health and
sustained energy. - All varieties of rice are naturally gluten free, making rice a suitable option for those with
- sensitivities.
- Try a quick cooking option such as our boil in a bag rice or instant rice for busy weeknight meals.
- Stuff bell peppers with rice and ground meat, use leftover rice and veggies in a stir fry or fried
rice, introduce new spices with a rice-based jambalaya, or enjoy a creamy rice pudding for
dessert.
