What Rice is Your Favorite?

Sooner — Mon, 04 Apr 2022 00:37:45 GMT

I never met a rice I didn't like--at least not that I remember. Maybe instant?

I love brown, white, Basmati, long or short grain, paella rice, sweet rice, and on and on! Right now I am loving Gaba brown rice, which the rice cooker soaks and then cooks and it is supposed to release nutrients. I don't know but the texture is great.

My favorite brand is Lundberg because they have really good organic rice. I also have some yellow rice mixes on hand too. And we keep converted rice for quick meals.

I have a package of black rice but haven't tried it yet.

Are you a rice love?

I eat less rice than I once did, but when I do have it, I love jasmine rice.

Jasmine Brown and find it best cooked an hour before serving.

I usually by the frozen brown and the frozen Jasmine from Trader Joes. I also really like the yellow rice that comes in the golden yellow pouches. I can't think of the brand but it has the safron and other spices.

I also really like the convenience of the microwaveable packets. When I worked in the office, they were easy to keep in my desk for days I didn't bring & couldn't get away for lunch.

I use Calrose, which is similar to the rice I used in Japan. I always make it "sticky style." I make fried rice and Mexican rice with it. I rarely use another kind, and I NEVER use instant.

I have a Panasonic rice cooker I bought there and had it wired for US electric current when I got back. They have so many now that are more sophisticated, but I won't part with it. It even has a poached egg cooker insert!

I read years ago that rice from California had the least amount of arsenic in it. So I have faithfully bought organic California white rice or jasmine rice since.

When I make it, it's cauliflower rice.

@Sooner I love all rices. I use carolina the most. I like jasmine too.

Wild rice is good, even though I know it's a grass.

My favorite are basmati and jasmine. I like them equally. Before I retired, when I brought my lunch to work, I frequently had the Minute Rice single serving cup that you stick in the microwave for only one minute. Fast and convenient. I would mix in vegetables and/or chicken, and sometimes soy sauce or butter that I kept in the work kitchen fridge. Not the most gourmet way to eat rice, but I thought it tasted pretty good. Comes in white, brown, basmati, jasmine and a quinoa mix.

Is it Mahatma? @justashopper I enjoy that rice mix. Or could it be the Carolina rice mixes? They're both in gold pouches. I especially like the Carolina rice pilaf. Vigo Spanish rice...also gold.

I love Jasmine rice and even use it to make my rice and beans. It gives it a different and fragrant aroma and delicious flavor.
The Trader Joe's frozen risottos are delicious too. They have mushroom risotto and the asparagus risotto. 🤤

@KBEANS

I think it's the Vigo Spanish brand. Yum o! and I agree trader joes rosottos are great. I love trader joes.

And beans and rice!

I order heirloom beans from this place in California. The company is called Rancho Gordo. Best beans! Very unique beans. Even if you don't order, he has a lot of advice and recipes on the website. I have ordered a few of his cook books. i highly recommend you check it out.

Sprouted brown basmati or jasmine. In my 20s I ate short grain brown rice which I bought at Erewhon. Organic Lundberg has been a staple - USA produced...long history.
