![[8 oz 4 Pack] Twist Top Deli Containers Clear bottom With blue Top Twist on Lids Reusable, Stackable, Food Storage Freezer Container](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41q3+lZROKL._AC_SR160,160_.jpg)
We have been using this brand of brown rice for over a year now. We also mix some other grains in it, tastes great (Pride Of India - Organic Red Royal Quinoa - 100% Bolivian Superior Grade Protein Rich Whole Grain, 1.5 Pound (24oz) Jar)
As for cooking the product, the directions on the box are not very helpful and neither are correct. The rice will not cook if soaked for 15-20 minutes. We generally soak the rice overnight before cooking it. Water used to cook is 3 times than the quantity of the rice (One cup rice and three cups water). Brown rice generally takes more time to cook than white rice. Hope this tip helps.

You have to soak this rice and rinse..
Reviewed in the United States on August 29, 2017
I just got this and I just read the directions and you have to soak this rice and rinse it before cooking. I didn't realize this as this wasn't on the directions for cooking it on the website. I DID look for this to be mentioned somewhere before buying. I didn't want rice that I had to go thru all the hoopla about. I'll try this out and update this in a couple of days. I'll keep it now that I've got it. Can't do any better now. Too late.Update: 31 August 2017- I made the rice tonight. It came out fantastic! I upgraded this review to 5 stars. My mother loved the rice I made tonight and couldn't stop talking about it. I actually made 2 cups of rice to 4 cups of water and it came out so much rice! It was to the top of my 3 quart pot. I put turmeric in it and some fresh parsley, butter and a little low sodium salt. And it was perfect! I did follow the directions and I soaked the rice and rinsed it really well. I cooked as directed. So I'll be using this until it's gone and I may order some more. The grains are really long when it's fully cooked. Next time I'll make less rice. I didn't know what to expect and is why I made what I did. I didn't know it was going to blow up that big in the pot. It's REAL BIG! So definitely less next time. Highly recommend if you don't mind soaking and rinsing your rice. Some people just want to cook it and get it over with. So if you feel this is YOU, then just give this a try and see how you like it. The taste is good!Update: 20 September 2017- I bought another one of these containers of rice, cos the first one was so good and I'm almost out already. Nice rice even with all the fuss.Update: 23 September 2017- I made some rice and took a picture. I made beef rice with this. Instead of making plain white rice, I took the beef stock I had cooked and reserved it. And I used 2 1/2 cups of the beef stock and a 1/2 cup more of water (3 cups total) to 1 1/2 cups of rice. It came out very tasty! I did the same thing using chicken stock I had reserved as well. Same results- it was really good- Lots of rice too!Update: 27 September 2017- I started cooking some more rice and it had a really bad rancid smell to it. Had to throw the whole pot of rice away as well as the rice. I don’t know what happened to the container. It was just sitting there in a cool place. So maybe it’s expired or something else going on with it. Now I’ll have to buy another one and hopefully it will be ok. Downgraded from 5 stars to 3 stars now.
