Is it safe for children below 12 years to eat brown rice?

My family has been taking brown rice & kids started with us as young as when they were 5 years of age. No issue even when doing CCAs & uniform grps. DH does not hv a paunch & hv clean Bill of health after yearly checkups.

Why shouldn't it be safe? I don't see any issue with kids of any age eating brown rice.

Please don't take this the wrong way, but may I politely ask the reasons why one would prefer to serve/consume brown rice as opposed to the normal variety?

Dunno... but my aunty who has diabetes only wants to take brown rice to manage her sugar intake... myth or fact?

Hi 3boys,

Personally for me, I try to include as much wholegrain products in my family's diet and brown rice is one of them besides wholemeal bread etc...

Its due to their nutritional value, health benefits etc...

Something for your reading pleasure

I blend my brown rice. The proportion to white rice varies to be cooked together in slow cooker for 11/2 to 2 hrs.

Hey...., dont know if you have that in Spore market.

It is called Yam Rice (Beras Ubi) with slightly purple-ish, or red rice (beras, merah) with slightly redish color. It is usually grown in malaysia and sold at the wet market using transparent plastic bag by kg.

I usually mix 1:1 ratio with white rice. Use the normal amount of water as you cook your white rice.

More nutrition and dont get hungry so fast.!! :celebrate:

Re: brown rice causes phelgmy cough

We have been taking the rice + brown/red brown rice combo for 2 years almost daily, so far didn't really encounter more frequent phelgmy cough though ... maybe different pple different reactions or we still haven't been eating enough brown rice?? :xedfingers:

I am using Naturel organic brown rice.

Initially I did not mix with white rice. #2 was badly constipated. The physician in Ma Kuang told me it is actually better for my boy to eat porridge cooked with white rice and suggested to mix 1:1.

I usu. soak the rice combo for an hour, then cook for 2 hours. The porridge is very smooth.

Hi, the brand is Sukha House. you can order online http://www.sukhahouse.com/ or check out the medical shops or grocery shops in the neighbourhood. I bought mine from the neighbourhood grocery shop. I mix with white rice to cook in normal rice cooker, the usual way, no extra step. Taste good (at least no one has complained anything ;p)

I did mine juz like yours, i mix half white rice and half brown rice. Once a wk i will cook brown rice porridge for lunch, it taste more yummy than norm white porridge.

Apparently this elephant brand organic brown rice has a few variation, sm come with 1, 2 or 3 elephants on the packing. The shopkeeper told me the more the elephants the rice taste better. I used to buy the 3elephants but has been out of stock for quite awhile so im buying the 1elephant, really cant taste the different, if im nt wrong the price is the same.

Hi Shurley197323,

We only eat brown rice at home. I buy the NTUC housebrand. No need to soak overnight. Through trial and error, I found out that you need to double or triple the amt of water used for the amt of rice being cooked. I use 2 and a half or 3 cups of water for 1 cup of rice, depending on how soft I want the rice to be. I do not add oil or salt

For polished rice (i.e. normal white rice), the water measurement on rice cooker show for 1 cup, 2 cups… 4 cups… corresponding to the number cups of rice… e.g. if you measure 1 cup of polished rice, you pour in 1 cup of water… FOR BROWN RICE or UNPOLISHED RICE, you put in double the portion of water… 1 cup of rice, 2 cups of water. Add olive oil (1 tablespoon) … add in one or two slices of ginger. You don’t need to soak the rice at all. A SIA steward taught me that years ago… and he used to have an organic food cafe at Novena Square… don’t know where he has gone now.

Hope that helps.
