Brown Rice

[harbinator]

Ive got my diet pretty down pat but after reading so many good things on here about brown rice I want to try and add it to my diet. Everytime I see it in the grocery store its the instant kind you just pour water in a bag and its done in 2 minutes or whatever.

I must be glancing over it or something, is it the rice that comes in the big straw type bags? What brands do you recommend, what to look for etc...?

TIA

Go to a health food store and get some real brown rice. Real brown rice (not processed) takes hours to cook, the 2 minute rice is high-GI, low fiber, and low gums - no different then white rice.

If you're looking for the organic long grain brown rice in a standard grocery store, it should be in the same section/same shelf as the instant boxed rice, but in a clear plastic bag. That's how I've always seen it anyway I don't have one particular brand that I prefer over the other... I've tried a lot of different organic brands, and I can't tell much difference, to be honest.

Uncle Ben's Brown rice is good. Right there with the rest of the rice in my grocery store.

try the lundberg brown rice, you can find it in the grocery store next to the others,

And these all take hours to cook? Thats gonna cramp my style, so far I've gotten away with all my meals taking less than 10 minutes to prepare and have been doing pretty well just wanted to throw in something new.

Make it the day before, and then put in containers. Riceland is a very cheap pure brown rice most grocery stores sell.

Quaker makes unsalted whole grain rice cakes. The only ingredient is organic brown rice - 35 cals/cake with 7g carbs, 1g protein. That's what I eat on the run.
