Ingredient Wiki
Chicken
The clean flesh of the chicken, with or without skin, used fresh. Roughly 70% of its weight is water, most…
Cracked Pearled Barley
Pearled barley broken into smaller pieces so it cooks and digests more quickly.
Brown Rice
Rice with only the inedible outer hull removed, so the bran and germ stay on the grain.
Brewers Rice
The small fragments of rice kernel separated out during milling, a by-product of producing whole white rice.
Whole Grain Wheat
Wheat with the bran, germ and endosperm all left intact, rather than the refined endosperm alone.
