Rice

Rice is known for source of carbohydrates and protein (with combination of other proteins). It is the staple food of the large part of the world. This rice is grown to a tropical and subtropical Southern Asia and Southeastern Africa. The raw rice can be ground and have many uses of it.

In the Philippines, rice is our staple food. We used to eat rice three times a day (every meal). As of now our government is announcing that we are having a shortage of rice, so the government suggest to all the citizens that we have to reduce our consumption of rice. In any ways, like eating other root crops on other meals.

As an active mommy I used to cooked just the right amount of rice for our meals and avoid every meals to have rice in our menu. I alternate our meals with bread in the morning and sometime in the dinner potato or cassava (kamoteng kahoy). :)
