Indian Spices 

Most Indian dishes contain a rich variety of spices like curry, garam masala, turmeric, cayenne, ginger and garlic. Many believe this is because spices help to keep food from spoiling and so Indians commonly add many spices to their dishes for flavor and storage purposes. Also, a large portion of India eats vegetarian and does not consume dairy products. 

This Curry Cauliflower Buddha Rice Bowl is not only vegetarian but it is made with coconut milk for a creamy and flavor bowl you will be wanting to make again and again. 

Mediterranean Vegetables

In the Mediterranean, Greek dishes are known for their zesty citrus lemon in combination with fresh tomato, cucumber and zucchini produce alongside chickpeas and olives. This Mediterranean Rice Bowl with Zucchini Fritters celebrates all of those classic flavors in a simple rice bowl made with whole grain brown rice with hummus. 

With all of these tasty options, where will your food journey begin? We suggest you stock up on a few boxes of Success® Rice or Quinoa because there are plenty more international and home cooked recipes like this vegan meatloaf that you can make using these hearty grains!
