Based on whole grain brown rice, this recipe for Easy Brown Rice with Cumin has no added oil, salt (you can use salt-free broth if you like) or sugar, making it a perfect addition to your whole food, plant-based diet. You can make this in a rice cooker or an Instant Pot too.

The answer is yes! Brown rice is a gluten-free grain, and this recipe is also gluten-free. The only thing you need to worry about is gluten-containing ingredients that might be added to a rice recipe. If you prefer, you can also use organic brown rice (which is what I do) in this recipe to reduce your exposure to pesticide residues and support more sustainable growing methods.
If you want to enhance a simple brown recipe, you can cook it with broth and add just a touch of spice or herbs. This recipe relies on vegetable broth bullion and cumin seeds, with a touch of parsley (optional). You can add a pinch of cayenne to bring out the seasoning even more.
