Quick brown rice?

[Bossy Monkey]

Aldi sells their own brand now, so I had to try it. Expected to hate it, but I liked it a lot. In (almost) all seriousness, if parboiling sucks out all the vitamins, please let me know. Otherwise, enjoy my silly poll.

1. get a good rice cooker and then there is no need for "quick rice"

I love mine... I can keep it warm and "serveable" for up to 72 hours, though I usually refrigerate whatever is left and microwave it later.

Just sayin... A good brown basmati rice that is cooked slowly in a rice cooker actually does retain more nutrients, including a healthy nutrient compound called GABA. .

2. agree, I love my rice cooker.

I have brown rice and white. Sometimes I mix them together, but I have to admit the white rice I love the most is the same kind you find with Sushi. Its white, short and a fat grain. Its very good ..and most enjoyable with Nori (seaweed) and other items such as sliced ginger, soy sauce, and wasabi.

4. Read the article. Loved it!

Even if you don't like rice, you'll enjoy reading it!

5. I wouldn't buy a used cardboard box from Aldi's,

let alone a food item.

The first - and last - time I shopped at one, I bought a bag of grated cheddar that turned out to be moldy inside. Some of their other items were horribly crummy also.

I find it hard to believe that Aldi's is a corporate relative of Trader Joe's, which is a wonderful store.

6. There's nothing wrong nutritionally with quick brown rice

It's not as good as regular brown rice, but it's better than white rice. If you like it, go for it.
