    Brown rice tastes like dirt.

    You can't make sticky rice, it tastes like dirt BUT it has a bit more fibre...wow tough choice! :p

    sticky rice for me with peanut sauce

    Brown has a bit for fiber and a few less carbs if it matters to you

    I prefer the texture of brown rice. I also like that it has more fibre. I know it doesn't have LOADS more fibre, but I take it where I can get it. Whatever.

    I hate brown rice, it tastes so bad like I would honestly rather eat cauliflower rice than brown rice. I kinda even dislike people who say they prefer brown rice to white rice...I can never fully trust them.

    I like the nutty texture, but the extra 15-20 mins to cook? Just can't commit to it...

    Brown rice has more arsenic, so I would avoid it and get your fiber elsewhere, especially if you prefer white rice overall.

    Wow. I feel so much better now. I always thought that I was the only one who didn't like brown rice. There is something so comforting about white rice. I'd never give it up! I'm happy to get my fiber other ways!

    brown rice is what i have on hand; i like the taste (white is bland), and it only takes about 40 minutes in the rice cooker, which gives time to make the rest of the meal while the rice is cooking.
    nothing beats the occasional sticky rice, though.

    I will keep it short! If you like all types of rice then spend $20.00 and buy yourself a rice cooker. You just put in rice and water or anything else you would like to cook with it. After that just push a button and It (cooker) will let you know when the rice is ready to eat. One of the most valuable cooking items in any kitchen.

    Agreed.

    I so gotta just do this... thanks for the reminder both of you :)

    More fiber as in how much? Like 3 grams? Honestly. Is 3g really that much that it should he a factor at all?

    context and dosage.
