Stop being a ricist and start mixing them up.

Christ, do these people even eat whole grain at all? Do they not know that whole grain rices like this actually have an awesome flavor and awesome smell? All they are eating is tasteless, odorless starches. I bet these fucks eat white bread over whole grain breads too.

Take Lundberg rice, it is fucking amazing rice. It isn't polished and it isn't enriched. I mean check out this shit, man,

http://www.lundberg.com/products/rice/

They have Black Pearl and Black Japonica with black and mahogany rices that smell like a spice cabinet and taste awesome just on their own.

>>5832763
Red rice is clearly superior to both.

>>5832763
The rice in those images is the same rice, only the rice on the right has been dyed brown. Both are polished rices that have been enriched. Whole grain rices will have a little notch on one end that is fairly chiseled looking. The polished enriched rices will lack the notch or it will be there, but lack definition. (pic related)

It should be noted that the article uses a lot of broscience, bad interpretation of actual science, and their source links only result in ice cream nutritional data, so you have to input searches manually. They actually need a lot of citations for pretty much everything said in the article except the actual comparisons. Yet, those comparisons are only for "white rice" and "brown rice" which can be pretty much anything.

There are tons of different colors of rice. There's even a naturally white whole grain rice. All polished rice that is white, may not have been white when it started out. The reason it is white is because they polish off the bran, but by law in the USA you are not allowed to sell polished rice unless it has been enriched with the 5 minerals and vitamins. This means those vitamins and minerals are lost during processing and must be artificially replaced.

I prefer whole grain rices because they taste miles better than the polished enriched crap.

or should i say basmati master rice

>knows nearly nothing about good rices

>>5832833
you are correct sir

>>5832763

the difference between the two is extremely minimal at least as far as fiber and nutrients go.

just put some veggies on the plate

>>5832833

Not a big fan of basmati here either.

Lundberg is awesome, I eat that a lot. I've also gotten into this Korean mixed grain stuff, the one I'm eating now is sprouted brown rice, regular sweet brown rice, and a little bit of barley.

inb4 the white guy tells me I should be eating white rice because that's what he saw Asians doing in animu

What you luddite hippie chemophobes need to understand here is that things are a scam. Don't try things. Especially not things you found out about via means other than your parents (I call it "meme food")

Just eat normal food. Not only is it culturally less marxist, but we must not also forget the fact that my body is the way it is because of genetics. As a final note, I would like to add that Jews and perhaps immigrants in general, as well.

Is this some /pol/ copy-pasta and it was misposted ITT for some reason? Because it doesn't seem to have anything at all to do with the thread.

>>5832880
I found it funny

>>5832848
The ironic thing is the ancestors ate whole grain rices and not polished enriched white starches.

Get your brain checked

>>5832933
there are longer posts itt and he didn't ask about them so maybe length wasn't his only criterion. o wait, he actually gave his reason for thinking it's copypasta and it wasn't length!

Parboiled master race

this. its just a matter of preference when it comes to these threads

Is pilaf and shitloads of butter pretty much the only way to get good non-sticky rice?

>>5832971
The best way to get perfect, non-sticky rice is to boil the rice like you would pasta, in lots of salted water, drain it when it's just barely done and still has a bit of a bite to it, then put in a pan and steam in the oven for 15 minutes at 400F. You can put a couple pats of butter on the top before putting it in the oven if you like. Perfect rice every time.

>>5832978
Or you could get used to your pot and lid. And, do this in one step, portioning out the exact amount of rice and water you need, every time, all the time. When rice is done absorbing the rice and softening up, it steams the rest of the time.

How does this mystery perfect rice recipe take? Probably only 2 or 3 attempts at home before you get it just right for that pot.

>>5832986

Confirmed for not knowing shit about rice.

>>5832978

This is basically correct if your idea of "perfect rice" is horrid dry fluff that doesn't have the texture of proper rice. Rice is better when it's sticky though. Basmati a shit.

>>5832986
I don't know, it sounds like a good idea actually. You drain out all the starchy water, so it won't stick (as much) when it's steaming. Unless you wash your rice really well first, I guess.

>>5832990
You're an idiot with shit taste.

>>5832991
My post had nothing to do with sticky rice or preferences. That's up to the user to decide what style he wants by buying a brand and type he likes, and what degree or rinsing (if at all).

>>5832993

On the contrary, the words you are saying are applicable to you.

>>5832995
Are you sure? I've tried lots of different brands and grain sizes and they all clump in my pot.

>>5833000
No, no, that point wasn't debatable. It was a factual statement. You are an idiot with shit taste.

>>5833009

Are you actually going to argue that rice should be boiled and drained, like pasta, because you're too much of a picky piece of shit to enjoy normal rice?

Let me guess, you are white. Either that or Indian, which is basically the same thing where hygiene is concerned.

>>5833013
I'm not trying to argue at all. I don't argue with the village idiot. You obviously have never made rice any other way than whatever sticky ball of shit you've eaten your whole life, so I really could not give a fuck what your opinion is.

>>5833023
>I'm not arguing so I'm going to argue that I don't care so you can see how much I don't care

There is nothing wrong with using rice as a base for another dish sometimes, but butter and salt are the rice equivalent of squeezing lime into your beer. Fine for an occasional thing, but if this is your habit, it's a signal that you have no standards.

>>5832978

This be some Alton Brown tier boolsheet

a right cone is exactly 1/3 the volume of a cylinder of the same diameter and that's how you always but the right proportions of rice and water.

cook on low with the lid until perfect, every time

>>5833013

white people don't do this. Don't put this retardation on us.

ndian people cook their rice with a ridiculous amount of oil at home, it's ridicoulous. I fully believe Indian restaurants exist to give Indians a break from home cooking

wild rice reporting in.

>it's not even rice

>>5833051
>Wild rice are four species of grasses forming the genus Zizania, and the grain which can be harvested from them. The grain was historically gathered and eaten in both North America and China.

Interesting. I have a wild grass grain known as "Beaked Panicgrass" that is around $20 per pound.

Stay mad, fag.
