    I think it doubles. Don't quote me on that but I think that is right.

    I think white rice tastes much MORE bland. I cook mine with a bit of light margarine and I throw in finely chopped bell peppers just when the water starts to boil. yummy

    Definitely boil in some type of stock..chix, beef, veg...then I like to put a little tomato paste and parm cheese....and some olive oil
