Brothy Rice

Cooking rice in bone broth using the absorption method is a really easy way of incorporating bone broth into your little ones diet, making this rice not only gut-friendly, but delicious! The oil helps to bind to the digestible starch in the rice, creating resistant starch (an amazing prebiotic to feed the good gut-bacteria)

Notes:

Want to make this rice even more gut-friendly? Allow it to cool overnight in the fridge.

Cooling the rice for 12-24 hours increases resistant starch - which is amazing for gut-health helping to feed the good guys (beneficial bacteria) in the gut, acting like a prebiotic.

To safely handle rice:

Place the freshly cooked rice into the fridge below 5 °C as soon as possible in an airtight container.

Consume within 2-3 days if stored in an airtight container.

You can gently reheat the rice after the cooking and cooling process until it is just warmed!
