Friday's Last Spoonful: Cream of Rice


Getting a nitty gritty version of the white grain
Need a comfort food breakfast and tired of oatmeal? B & G’s Cream of Rice makes for a solid alternative to grits, oatmeal, and dry boxed cereals. It’s actually coarse ground rice flour or granulated rice. Cream of Rice has been around since 1893. For breakfast, follow the preparation instructions and serve immediately. The hot cereal can be sweetened with Splenda, honey, or maple syrup. Add crushed granola, raisins, or your favorite diced fruit. Feeling frisky? Sprinkle bowls of Cream of Rice with a little cocoa powder for a wholesome chocolate fix. Several savory dishes call for this ingredient. Cooks can make the base for a savory porridge and rice cakes with cooked Cream of Rice. Remember that this warm cereal is a gluten free food item. Yes, that's right. There are non-glutinous types of rice, such as basmati. So this is a version of rice to indulge in.
