Brown Rice

IS **** DISGUSTING. I decided to go for brown rice isntead of white rice today, so I made it while I could've just microwaved the white rice in the fridge I had last night. I did everything on the box told me to and it STILL ended up tasting like ****. Seriously. It tasted kinda like plastic. I know that tottally ruined my dinner cause after I cooked it I kept sampling it to see if has gotten any better and I sampled on about 100 calores. So gay, such a waste of calories. I will never do that again.

How did the instruction say to prepare it? 

When I first started eating brown rice I would mix half brown and half white.  I like the brown rice better now, but it took a bit to get use to.

I kind of like the nutty taste of brown rice. 

I used to really hate the taste of brown rice too, but then I added Morton's Nature's Seasons Seasoning Blend to it & now I eat brown rice on a regular basis. You might want to try Uncle Ben's Ready Rice (whole grain brown). All you have to do is rip off the top, pop in the microwave for 90 seconds & it's ready to eat! Fast & simple...oh yeah :)

I like brown rice. I find it hard to understand how it tastes "plastic" when it is in fact a whole lot more natural than white rice. I find white rice tastes bland and stodgy - brown rice has much more flavour and texture!

It depends on what type you buy and how you cook it. Done right, it's quite good.

Long grain rice, white or brown, is a horrible product and I don't know why anyone buys it.   Another time try brown basmati rice.... it's rather less 'cardboardy' and a lot more fragrant.  Even nicer is something I found at my local Waitrose... a mix of brown basmati, wild rice and red carmargue rice.

I buy it because it's cheap (I am a college student) and because it tastes fine to me.

I don't like brown rice that much either.  White rice to me is okay. But I absolutely love black rice! Maybe you can try that variety?

Publix Brand Brown Rice is good and takes 5 minutes to make and 150 cals per serving

I just eat white rice. I don't eat it often or in large enough quantities for it to matter. *shrug
