All the asian rice I have seen at the store is white rice. That is not good compared to brown rice. I would like to find bulk black rice. I have heard/read that its even better for you then brown, but I don't want to pay an arm and a leg for it.

Yup, alas, most asian rice is white rice unfortunately. I've personally never seen black rice, but ya, I can imagine it would be expensive.

Ok, so Asian people have more insight on rice... as an american does that mean i have more insight on Doughnuts? or maybe it's hamburgers and french fries? I have translated this post into the American version...Originally posted by aggies1ut

Just me, but I would never touch that Hostess stuff. I'm sure the mini crumb variety is fine... :P I'm fat and white. Grew up on Hot, Fresh glazed twists from the local doughnut shop...

Lol, oh I'm sure that it tastes good and is nurtritious. I guess I just have always associated the name with their instant white rice and developed an opinion of the company, that I just can't shake.Originally posted by Robert DiMaggio

Well my 25lb bag of UB brown rice is exactly what I was looking for. IMO its quality, and I love the quantity and cheap price. It doesn't break my bank and 25lbs is going to last me a while

Well instant or quick rice is higher in GI than the slow-cooking long grain type...

Wow I'm glad you gave me that list, I almost bought a book with all the foods and their GI but my firepager went off and I had to run out of the BORDERS. Saved me like 15 bucks.

Yea I use to use the instant when I first started but then everyone said it was bad. So now I just cook a bunch of it and it lasts me like 3-4 days. It works fine IMO but the downfall is it takes forever for it to cook. So I have started cooking it at work because I am a manager of a cafe so I cook all my meals for like 3 days there and package them up. Bad part to being able to cook at work is all the damn pastries there I can't eat heh.

The 25lb bag I got is slow cooking. It takes like 30 minutes to cook. I think I did mean wild rice not black rice. The color is black though. I would love to mix that with my brown rice but its really expensive, and I can't find it in bulk
