I like the plastic gloves on the corner of the vegetables on the last pix. Are they reusing? The same person wearing them?. Kind of funny! I like the multi-grain rice - I recommend to my DM patients to eat instead of the white rice - same portion though -but more fiber!
I can't believe I didn't notice those gloves. Do your patients actually try the rice? I've found that some people are kind of hesitant.
The majority of the patients (Korean) have eaten the rice in the past - I found some "American" ones that just prefer the white rice. My TKD instructor is the one that first introduced me to the multi-grain rice and I was so impressed with how much fiber was in it (don't ask me how many!)
Interesting food tradition! I think I would like the multi-grain-rice. It looks more tasty.
