    Curd Rice or Rice with Yogurt is a recipe whose ingredients can help digest your food for you. The yogurt being a probiotic, protects your gut with beneficial bacteria.

    Before beginning the GAPS diet, brown rice was one of our staple grain products. Since everyone but myself has transitioned to a traditional diet, rice is back on the menu - for them anyway

    Brown Rice Vs White Rice

    Brown rice is simply the rice seed after going through a rice huller to remove the chaff. If the milling is continued to remove the bran which includes the husk and the germ, you are left with white rice. Although it will keep longer, white rice does not have the nutrient content of brown rice. That is why I always choose brown rice.

    As with other grains, rice should be properly prepared. Soaking brown rice for 24 hours is effective in neutralizing the phytic acid and encourages germination. According to Wikipedia:

    A nutritionally superior method of preparing brown rice known as GABA Rice or GBR (Germinated Brown Rice) may be used. This involves soaking washed brown rice for 20 hours in warm water (38 °C or 100 °F) prior to cooking it. This stimulates germination, which activates various enzymes in the rice. By this method, a result of research carried out for the United Nations International Year of Rice, it is possible to obtain a more complete amino acid profile.

    How We Enjoy Curd Rice

    We enjoy curd rice "Rice with Yogurt" whether it is served warm or cold. For the summertime, it makes a great salad dish! As an added bonus, the yogurt provides a great source of probiotics to the meal. Be sure to allow the rice to cool until warm after cooking, and then add the yogurt. Otherwise, the "good" bacteria will be killed by the high temperature.

    Ways To Serve Curd Rice:

    • As part of a nutritious breakfast with berries or chopped fruit
    • As a salad mixed with veggies roasted or raw
    • Serve with grilled or roasted meats as a side

    Your gut health plays a central role in nutrient absorption, and affects all other systems in your body. The bacterial cultures in your intestines are an often overlooked and neglected part of the average diet.

    Known as the "second brain", your gut has more than 100 million neurons, and needs to be nourished.

    You'll find recipes here that focus on prebiotic ingredients, whole vegetables, and probiotics like kefir, sauerkraut and cheese.
