Why Use Brown Rice?
Making your own porridge-like brown rice puree is perfect for the entire family as it’s made with all the natural goodness of using whole grain brown rice. In fact, brown rice is a suggested first food for little ones at home who are just beginning to eat solid foods. Packed with all of the natural vitamins and minerals of whole grain rice, you can be sure you’re making a great meal.
However, If you just have white rice at home, you can also try your hand at making a delicious puree from scratch with White Rice. You can also get creative and try out a recipe with Fruits and Vegetables.
How to Make A Homemade Puree
Making your own puree from scratch is quite simple, with the right ingredients you can make delicious pureed meals that everyone can enjoy!
To start, you’ll need quality rice like Organic Brown Rice and purified water or organic apple juice. If you want to cut down on the cook time of your brown rice, try soaking your rice for 2-8 hours before cooking. Simply place in a bowl covered in water and let it sit.
Once your rice has soaked, drain the water, or if your rice hasn’t been soaking, simply rinse it out in a strainer. Place your rice and juice in a bowl and bring to a boil. Once boiling, let it simmer for 45 minutes or 20 minutes if it has soaked.
Once your rice is fully cooked, blend it together with an immersion blender until it reaches the desired consistency. It’s quite simple and with just a few ingredients, may require a bit of patience but feeding your family quality meals is always worth it.
Pro tip: discover how much rice to water you should be using for perfectly cooked grains every time.
