Niel was extolling the virtues of brown rice yesterday when we went grocery shopping. I knew he was right so today i made the switch to brown rice.
I bought 5 kilos. It cost three times more than white rice.
After cooking it I realized I hated the taste of brown rice.
Ugh. 5 kilos more to go.
Try a different brand, like Harvester’s Choice… Some brands taste pretty lousy.
quite the opposite of myself, which prefers the texture and varying flavor of the ‘dirty’ rices, (also the health bennies). Must be a western thing but then again, refined white rice also gives us cholesterol issues and causes overeating from some hunger related protien I vaguely remember reading about.
Eat me some white rice – hour later I’m hungry. Eat anything else (including brown rice) and I can go easily 24 hours without actual hunger pangs.
Try this… brown rices are better in oil dishes, fried or otherwise. Small bit of butter can make the difference. Simply steaming/boiling it makes for a blandness thats like eating straw.
Well actually after a while, I got used to eating brown rice. I love it now
Yes, you’re right.. Brown rice DOES fill you up. I love how I can eat brown rice and be full for the entire day.
I’ve burned through 3 kilos of the kilo bag now. Will be mixing it with some dried oregano and some pesto…
you cook it like white rice, right? I am loving your blog!
