Tayyibat Code

Food list › The pantry

Is brown rice allowed on the Tayyibat diet?

Yes, prepared

Yes, but only prepared the right way. The verdict follows from his rules, not a ruling he gave.

Why brown rice needs preparing

Yes, cooked well. Undercooked, the rough outer layer scratches your gut lining and passes through barely digested. Cook it well and that problem disappears.

The detail

Well cooked. Hard seeds and rough insoluble fibre abrade the gut lining and pass largely undigested, which is why kiwi is out and raw carrot with it. Prepared this way, that objection is removed.

The rule behind the verdict

Hard seeds and rough fibre

Did the doctor say this himself?

Follows from his rules. Not a ruling he gave.
