September is National Rice Month.
Try a new rice recipe and eat more rice.
Cook white rice or brown rice like a professional with a Zojirushi rice cooker.
The USA Rice Federation sponsors September as National Rice Month to celebrate the contributions
of our nation's rice growers. Initiated by an act of Congress in 1991, National Rice Month
has helped to make rice America's fastest growing grain. Today we each eat an average of 25
pounds of rice a year, and it really isn't hard to see why it has gained so much in popularity. Rice
is a healthy and economical food that is sodium and cholesterol free, with just traces of fat.
Whether it's in sushi, risotto or a burrito, we have grown to love it as a main ingredient in recipes
from around the world. Rice can be counted on to provide substance and texture to many dishes;
it's convenient to have on hand because it stores well, it's easy to cook and quick to prepare. As
we continue in our efforts to expand our recipe collection, the Zojirushi kitchens have come up
with some exciting rice dishes to help you celebrate National Rice Month!

Back to School With Rice?
|

Let's face it, Moms, those days of bologna sandwiches in a brown paper bag are long gone. Kids
are more sophisticated these days, and they're going to want something a little more interesting in
their lunches. Plus, you're going to want to pack healthier alternatives. If you haven't noticed,
school programs across the country are adding more rice dishes to their menus because this delicious
grain is as versatile as it is nutritious. Brown rice is a 100% whole-grain food, approved by
the FDA for its health benefits.
One easy way to take advantage of the tremendous versatility of rice is to make rice bowls. Even
a small portion of leftover vegetables and meat can top a bed of warm rice in a bowl for a quick
and balanced meal. If you pack it in our Zojirushi Lunch Jar, it will stay hot and gourmet perfect
until your kids are ready to eat. Watch our videos to learn more!
