Food Trends and Healthy Foods to Embrace this 2018

Food Blog by Western Rice Mills

Now that we have welcomed 2018, we could all agree about the thought of being hopeful throughout the year.

It would be a wonderful thing, indeed, if we could get to maintain, if not, approach the year with even a much brighter outlook. Of course, we are talking about - attitude and discipline.

Sometimes, when we get used to doing certain things, we could not help but be overwhelmed when we see change might come our way. There is fear. And there is doubt. We ask ourselves, is there a better way to do it?

And that thinking applies to things related to health. What sort of foods should we consume so that we do not compromise our health? And so we get curious about food trends.

Be Healthy. Cook Healthy.

Last year, January of 2017, we featured an article here: Be Healthy. Try these recipes in the early 2017.

And if you have read that article, you would have noticed some of the popular words we used:

Organic. Sustainable. Healthy.

You could guess, the trend from last year continues on this year.

Some of the 2018 hottest food trends that we could see are actually those foods that have gained popularity in the last few years. And that bring us to thinking - back on whether we have been consistent on our approach to embracing healthier food choices.

As the trend still continues on with organic, sustainable, healthy foods, 2018 could probably signal an opportunity to be even more committed in improving our eating lifestyle. That would include consuming whole grains, pulses, lentils, quinoa and rice.

Moreover, other foods might have been added in the trend this year. For example, we have seen some feature articles and blog posts mentioning mushroom and cauliflower. We are pretty sure, if you search on the internet, you would find even more foods being mentioned in the trend.

And with such growing number of food choices available, it would be a lot easier to be more creative in our approach to healthy cooking.

Plant-based food products will probably be gaining more attention as we progress this year. And staple foods would always include those food items that we are familiar with, such as whole grains and rice.

And here at Western Rice Mills, we are committed to taking part in delivering healthy food products. Rice. Quinoa. Pulses. Lentils. Beans. Seeds. And more actually. We continually source foods that we believe would contribute to creating better food choices for consumers.

Have you seen or tried Western Rice Mills newest food products? If you have not done so, do check out our list of products.

And the list keeps growing.

Learning About Thai Rice: Jasmine Rice 101

Thailand has almost become synonymous to its famous fragrant rice, better known as Jasmine rice.

But did you know that Thai people have many choices when it comes to the types of rice they could consume?

Our featured video in this blog post introduces us to Jasmine Rice.

Thailand produces many different types of rice. And it is amazing to know that rice comes in many different colors and texture, giving consumers several options.

For most Thai people though, Jasmine rice seems to be the most popular one. It is, in fact, considered their staple grain. It is the type of rice that they could consume in almost every meal, three times a day.

So what is Jasmine rice?

Jasmine rice is known as Hom Mali in Thailand. Hom means fragrant and Mali means Jasmine.

Jasmine rice has many characteristics that contribute to its popularity.

One of its characteristics is its floral aroma. Hence, its name speaks for itself (Hom or fragrant).

Then of course, it has that tenderness and stickiness.

Jasmine rice is your best type of rice if you want to cook rice using some types of sauces. It is also great for cooking fried rice and other dishes.

So how do you know if you are buying genuine Jasmine rice?

As mentioned in the video (by Hot Thai Kitchen), the first step is to check on the package of the product and see if it has that green logo (the Thai government seal) that certifies the product as genuine Jasmine rice variety. Then, make sure that the product is produced in Thailand.

Want to learn how cook Jasmine rice?

When you buy a package of Jasmine rice, it usually comes with cooking instructions. You can typically cook Jasmine rice on rice cooker. As well, there are other cooking methods you can explore. You can follow this video post (courtesy of Hot Thai Kitchen): "How to Cook Jasmine Rice without a Rice Cooker"

A Focus on Nutrition and Well-Being this Month of March

Food Blog by Western Rice Mills

You are a busy individual. You go to your workplace everyday. You take a break. You go for lunch. Then, go back again at work.

It has been a routine. And therefore, it is typical. You have not been that conscious of what sort of food you take. After all, you have no time to even prepare for the meal you could eat during lunch break.

March is Nutrition Month

Well, you are not alone. There are many other workers and employees who find eating meals at their workplace a huge challenge. And the reasons are obvious.

The usual responses point to the fact that workers are caught up with hectic schedule, spending busy days, going through rush hours, doing office chores, attending to meetings and other activities.

As such, workers tend to not focus so much on the quality of food that they eat and they even tend to skip meals, depending on how hectic their work day gets.

"This month of March is a perfect opportunity to redirect our attention and give importance to learning and embracing a healthy eating lifestyle.

No matter what the situation is, it is still vital to give attention to the foods that we take daily, regardless if we are at work or at home.

It is essential to note that in order to perform and concentrate well at what we do (particularly, in our workplace), we should all pay attention to how we could eat adequately, focusing on eating nutritious foods.

This month of March is a perfect opportunity to redirect our attention and give importance to learning and embracing a healthy eating lifestyle.

Let us join Dietitians Canada in their campaign this year 2017: "Take the fight out of food. Spot the Problem. Get the Facts. Seek support."

Food Blog by Western Rice Mills

Just What are Pulses, Lentils, Beans and Peas?

It has been known since the early part of the year 2016 that it is the "International Year of Pulses" (IYP). This was declared in the 68th United Nations (UN) General Assembly.

So what exactly could we aim to achieve with consuming pulses and making such food part of our everyday diet?

Just What are Pulses, Lentils, Beans and Peas?

The IYP 2016 endeavours to make the public aware of the many benefits of pulses in terms of food nutrition, food security and food production sustainability. Read more info here >>

But how familiar are we with pulses? What makes them different from other kinds of foods?

According to Pulse Canada, pulses are the seeds of the legume plants that are edible and excellent for healthy diets.

Therefore, pulses belong to legume family; although pulses are best referred to as dried seeds.

Some varieties of pulses include lentils, dried peas, chickpeas and edible beans.

Pulses are very nutritious and are rich in fibre and protein, making such foods ideal for low-fat diets.

Adding pulses on to our food list can be fun and exciting, given its variety of colours, sizes, forms or shapes. Not to mention their additional nutritional characteristics, having contained excellent level of minerals (such as zinc, iron, folate, B-vitamins and phosphorous).

Considering all the nutritional benefits as well as elements of food security and sustainability, pulses not only are a healthy food ingredient, but can contribute as well to our beloved mother earth.
