Basmati Rice with Garlic and Parsley
Parsley is better than an after dinner mint to take away odors. Chew well, then swallow; use especially after garlic or onions. Parsley is rich in minerals, especially iron, calcium, potassium and sulfur. It is a good blood building food and has been used as a kidney cleanser and for controlling calcium in the body. Parsley juice is good for eliminating poisonous foods from the body.
This Garlic Parsley Rice can be a good blood cleanser. You can also add 1-2 teaspoons of red chiles with the turmeric for added health benefits.
