Cook once eat twice! Plus info about Phytic Acid

I love this saying because it is so true. Lasts night dinner makes a delicious lunch. When I make a meal I always try to have a little left over to enjoy the next day. Also next time you make some brown rice make some extra to prepare another way the next day too.

Brown rice is a whole grain. I soak mine the night before or at least a couple of hours before I cook it to deactivate the phytic acid.
Phytic pronounced (FYE-tick) Acid is a nonnutrient in seeds and grains that is capable of binding with some minerals zinc, iron, calcium, magnesium and copper and blocking their absorption.
