Method of preparation: if you can plan ahead of time and soak your rice you will cut down on the amount of cooking time required and also make the nutrients in the rice more absorb-able. After soaking your rice rinse the rice clean and then place it on the stove top with two cups of water for every one cup of rice. Boil the rice for at least one half hour if you did soak the rice and for one hour if you didn't. Check the texture of the rice after this time to see if it is chewy and cooked through; if not keep boiling until it reaches the texture you're looking for.
