This invention chooses vegetables and fruits that are rich in vitamins, minerals, and anti-oxidants, and uses them to prepare juice. The separately prepared juices, combined altogether or in sets, are used to cook rice without additional water, so that the rice grains absorb and adsorb the nutrients. This nutrients-enhanced rice, prepared by cooking in juice from vegetables and fruits and referred to as "Juiced-up Rice," can be used alone or as an ingredient in preparing other rice-containing food.
