i'm trying to be a bit more healthy by eating brown rice rather than white but i can't seem to cook it properly. everytime ive tried its still been crunchy :sour: eventhough i've cooked it for quite a while.

i want some for my dinner tonight but don't fancy crunchy, hard rice again so how long shall i put it in for?

Brown rice needs a long time to cook, normally about 30 minutes or so, if it's crunchy you've not cooked it for long enough.

I prefer brown rice because it gives me fewer digestion problems, but it is an acquired taste.

Brown rice takes roughly time and a half of white rice.

Im not a fan of brown rice. It just doesnt taste as nice.

Just have white rice and go for a jog tomorrow :thumb:

Is brown rice the same as wholegrain rice? I use wholegrain by Uncle Bens and it only takes 10minutes to cook. I have noticed that some brown rice packets say cook for 25mins though!

I find brown rice a bit of an aquired taste too, I couldn't have it on its own, but it's ace put in some stews and soups to thicken them up

If you want to be healthy and cant be arsed cooking brown rice (I usually cant) then use longrain basmati, which is almost as good.
