I grew up with freezer bags of cooked rice from my parents.
Seems a little crazy considering how easy and quick it is to cook rice.
I wonder what the advantages are.
The only one I know of is that if you want to cook fried rice, it’s way better if you have it in the fridge overnight because it dries out a little and then it soaks up all the flavors when you cook it the next day.
Nah, beans are crazy nutritious
But do not include all the nutrients your body needs for a long and healthy life.
There sure are worse options than beans though.
They don’t? Are you sure?
I feel like beans are one of the few foods that do include all the nutrients you need.
It’s like them and quinoa.
No but rice contains the rest.
Interesting, what does rice have that beans don’t?
I’ve always understood beans to be one of the very few foods that include everything.
Fat, protein, carbs, all the vitamins
Essential amino acids, I believe. That’s why the rice is key, it has those the beans are lacking.
Ah, you’re right.
Wow, so quinoa is the remaining champion.
So long, beans. Pretty close though.
Beans and rice are pretty great together. And you can freeze rice (something I just learned recently)
