Got Some New Brown Rice

[StumblingElk]

I try to avoid rice grown in Texas or Louisiana -> Arsenic

You can cook the rice like pasta, with extra water in the pot. It lowers the arsenic content quite a bit though the texture of the rice changes.

You're right - Wiki says it's not true rice, but is related. Closer to rice than any other grain, apparently.

True wild rice, which is grown in the Great Lakes area, is an aquatic grass.

A lot of it is grown here, in the northern part of the province.

Good stuff, now I'm craving it.

I tried that and ended up with rice mush. It was totally not edible and I threw it away.
Actually I soaked it first. It didn't work. I think a better idea is to eat millet instead.

I mostly switched to quinoa myself. That is if I can't find California grown rice
