NOW Foods - Brown Rice Breakfast Cereal

Brown Rice Breakfast Cereal

Adapted from The Whole Grains Council, www.wholegrainscouncil.org

Whole grains have been a traditional breakfast food for centuries. Although most recipes use oats or wheat, this gives brown rice its chance in the breakfast spotlight.
