    Have used both making gravy, whole wheat gravy is totally different and not all people like it because of the texture.
    I've gone to brown rice exclusively. I also ferment/sprout all my rice before I cook it.



    Brown rice is alive. White rice is dead.

    All grains/legumes have this chemical called phytic acid which is an anti-nutrient. It removes nutrients from your body, acts like a mild poison, messes with the digestive tract, and increases chances of flatuence. That's why if you ferment/sprout beans you'll get no gas after eating it.

    Oh yeah, if you do fermenting, use a good salt like RealSalt or Himalayan salt. Kosher salt should work too, but most sea salts aren't alkaline so I try to avoid those now.

    More on rice (confirms what I said.)

    they have these green pumpkin/squash things (I dont know their name) that are available most of the year here,

    I just boil them up a mash them into a gravy with butter and water and pour it over most any other vegetable i can find, broccoli, carrots, green beans over rice with it makes a nice plate

    Acorn Squash?

    There's a lot of squashes:



    This is only a tiny percentage of the varieties available too.

    looks like this, I pit and peel the meet out. the smaller they are the more better for gravy. Don't steal too much flavor from other things on the plate, kinda enhances everything with the butter. was reading, some look like they do it with butternut also.

    Really don't need too much butter only like a couple heavy teaspoons.
