Brown rice is great if it suits you.

I always wash my rice first.

I do find it odd it will cook in ten minutes. I wonder what they do so that it cooks so fast.

Typically brown rice takes AGES, if I recall, 30 min in a pressure cooker.

Hmm! brown rice is a great source of carbs as Tat mentioned. One minute brown rice, I wouldn't trust it, as it may have been processed in some way. Get long grain organic brown rice and have about 1/2 cup of cooked rice.

I buy a 20# bag from the Chinese Market and then bake my rice.
4C rice to 6C liquid. My boys also love brown rice

I like my brown rice mixed with tuna and green peas with a little raw onion

I recommend Bob's Red Mill gluten free hot cereal for a quick long-grain brown rice meal. It's primary ingredient is LGBR, cook up in 10 minutes, and tastes awesome. I'm totally hooked on it.

Hmm, I'll try their rice next time for a variety. I bought the Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oatmeal, but didn't like the taste compare to the brand I normally get.

I love Uncle Ben's Brown Rice in the orange bag. It cooks in two minutes. I am not a huge carb guy but I always enjoyed chopping up chicken or steak in it. Quick and easy.
