Expert Tips

You can use regular long-grain white rice instead of the brown rice. Reduce the water to 1 1/3 cups and reduce the cooking time to 15 to 20 minutes.

Bell peppers, regardless of their color, provide vitamin C also called ascorbic acid. Choosing vitamin C-rich foods keeps gums and blood vessels healthy.
