In a 5-quart Dutch oven, bring 4 cups of water to a rapid boil. Add a couple of pinches of salt & 2 tablespoons of virgin coconut oil. Once boiling, add 1 cup of rice. The rice cooks in 15 minutes, instead of 30. The rice will be fluffier.
It also cooks beans in 1/2 the time. Soak beans of your choice overnight, rinse & cook, like you usually do. Add 2 tablespoons of virgin coconut oil to your beans, & they will come out creamier.
