Delicious Brown Rice Mushroom Pilaf
There are very many types of rice: long, medium and short, each can be used in many different ways, from a savoury pilaf, to a creamy risotto, to a dessert rice pudding!

It may be because of the difference in look, texture and taste, but with a quick search, there’s nothing lose, but all to gain with brown rice!
