Have you tried eating Brown Rice?

yeah we can only find them in supermarkets, i mean big supermarkets here in the philippines. i don't know in other countries.

that is why i like making it into a fried rice to make it taste better. fried rice always taste better than the boiled rice.

yes it is really good, make it into fried rice and you will love it. and after cooking this as boiled rice keep it at ref when you are not going to eat cause it easily get spoiled compared to white rice that last longer.

i am glad to know there are still people who practices healthy living. when i was young i wished that i will live eating healthy foods but was not able to do it. cause of the temptation of delicious foods and the pull of fastfoods over me was strong back then. but now very much older at 37, i am more determined and more motivated to live to what i planned or believe life should be lived. i love reading healthy living books.

anyways, i do noticed that cooking brown rice takes longer than white rice. do shrea some of your healthy eating habits. i am just starting right now. with brown rice for the start. hopefully i will learn more healthy recipes. but i don't want to sacrifice the taste cause the good taste keeps me motivated to stick to it. if the food will be so awful no matter how good or healthy it is i just don't know if i will be able to stick with it.

Good luck on turning to nature, you will feel much better in the long run.
Any rice worth cooking will take 40 to 45 minutes, except wild that takes up to a hr. the longer the grain is the better the rices are for you. Just PM me if you have any questions.We eat to live not live to eat! Just as it should be for a well balanced diet.

i totally believe in what you have said. we eat to live and not live to eat. that is what we should remember in choosing the kind of foods we ate. we should be aware that the foods we eat should be healthy and will help us live life in great health and so we can take advantage of the beautiful things life can offer us.

it is good that you live near plantation. that is my ideal place to live at so i can get fresh fruits and vegetables . anyways, most colored rice here are not milled. maybe they are just manually pressed by hand to take off the husk. cause i think if they are milled they iwll lose the health benefits. maybe light milling will still prevserve the natural contents.

anyways, i love colors. so i love these colored rice.

i think some unpolished rice taste great. i had tasted one given to me by my friend. it was harvested by them from their ricefields. it was easy to cook as white rice and even taste good as white rice. but the unpolished rice being sold in the supermarkets are not easy to cook and does not taste good and awful actually. so after boiling the rice, i will make them into a fried rice and add some seasoning or flavoring to make it taste better. but just a little dash of flavoring so it will still be healthy. that is why i can still eat and enjoy them every day.

yeah it does have both nutritional value as long as it is unpolished. it does not matter what color. but white rice here is white mainly because they have been milled. if they are not they would have at least some streak of brown color on it. so white rice here means devoid of those nutrients we all need. since i eat brown rice i eat less of rice too mainly because i don't get hungry much as often when i eat white rice. i feel full when i eat brown rice. and so though it is more expensive that white rice here but it does save me cause i become more health conscious and i can now say no to fast food or processed foods.

i the violet rice i have not seen them anywhere in the supermarket. i rarely see them being sold either in the wet market here in my country. but i am sure there is some people who plants violet rice in far places in the country. but they are not being sold in the city. i would love to see them in the supermarket. as i love colors. i definitely want to cook them interchangeably with brown and red or just mix them. ha ha. wouldn't it be fun.

what is a wild rice. i have not heard of that before. i hope we have that here also. i don't know if all white rice are devoid of nutrients. i remember that jasmine rice as very delicious white rice. unlike most white rice variety we had around here. actually jasmine rice was like the kind of rice we had here decades ago when our country was still better off we can buy jasmine rice cheaply. it awas abundant here before as we plant them before but now we don't have them grown locally in our fields. jasmine rice we have now in the supermarket are imported from other countries now. and it is very freaking expensive. 1 kilo of jasmine rice will be about $13. imagine that.

anyways, when i don't feel like eating rice, i just eat quaker oats now. thankfully i am loving this healthy foods. hope it will be that always from now on.

Jasmine rice is by far my favourite of the white rices! Here's some information on wild rice: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wild_rice

the jasmine rice being sold in teh supermarket is not as good as the jasmine rice that we got from other country,

anyways, i don't remember seeing that wild rice. i am sure there is a wild rice also in the market . i gonna look have a look at it closely. it does not look like a good tasting rice to me judging by the way it looks on the picture i have seen.

yeah it does have taste. but it actually depends on what kind of brown rice you bought. there are different kind of product or brands of brown rice sold in the market. some taste better than others. the first i bought has quite bad taste that was why i do make the rice into fried rice before i eat. but lately i bought a new kind of brown rice. and the taste is just fine i can eat it as boiled rice without making it into a fried rice. and so now i enjoy it now more.
