I love MFP people! I was just going to put my 2 cents in and as I read through the comments, I was blown away with more ideas! I was going to say, "just suck it up and eat it b/c it never tastes good." But BOY AM I WRONG! I'll definitely try the brown Basmati idea of toasting first!
I can NOT give up my white jasmine rice, but next time I'm at the store, I'll try the brown jasmine rice......
I do make my own chicken broth and it's MUCH more cost effective that way. I just freeze it in 2c containers b/c that's usually how much you need for a recipe.
And Quinoa....oh, you MUST try it! It's so great. LOTS of recipes out there for quinoa.0 -
I buy a bag of plain organic. Make your own and use vegetable broth instead of water and it will be reallllly yummy.0

Ok now that I have your attention ;o) I want to add brown rice to my diet. I need low sodium low cal GOOD TASTING rice. What do you guys buy?
Huh, and here I always thought that brown rice had more minerals and fiber than white since it was a whole food and not stripped of the bran. Please cite your source that say that they are the same.0 -

Brown rice? Is that the one that takes 3 days to cook? Ugh! White basmati for me every time!0

uuh, just plain brown rice. Get it in the bulk section, that's where it's the cheapest.
Good advice. I like short grain rice, so I do short grain brown.0 -

Yum! I do this, too. I mix white short grain with my brown (about half and half) and throw in crushed tomatoes, green chiles, cumin, paprika, a little chili powder and voila! Spanish rice.0 -
I definitely prefer Uncle Ben's to Minute Rice. And for a real treat, stir in 1 teaspoon of no added salt natural Peanut Butter. Yum!0

Brown basmati or brown jasmine. I haven't touched instant rice in over 20 years, but that's just because it tastes awful to me in comparison to non-instant (white or brown), others may not notice a difference.0
