Just a tip, instead of going through the hassle of preparing the rice, an easy alternative is to just pick up a large brown rice at any Chinese restaurant. I pay under $3 for a large brown rice, and most of the upper scale Chinese restaurants carry it on their menu. Brown rice does taste differently depending upon where you get it and the rice I get at the fancier Chinese restaurants is delicious. Give it a shot sometime.

My digestive system seems cured now after at least 4 times a week of 1 cup of brown rice, and for cereal I eat the Arrowhead Mills puffed brown rice (I love that this cereal has just 1 ingredient, NO sugar added, NO preservatives and it's so cheap!) What I love the most about brown rice is that I feel happy lately!! All in my life is the same, but eating whole grains truly affects your mood! it does make you feel happier, when I told this to a co-worker, she wasn't surprised, she said that her bi-polar son is prescribed at least 1 cup of brown rice a day to enhance his mood. Who would've thought that brown rice is more powerful than anti-depressants and surely not harmful but on the contrary. Ah! also my migraines are now less often and less strong. Also I've been learning that if you pre-germinate the rice before cooking it, by soaking it in warm water for about 20 hours, then the benefits are even higher!

(i think one min in the micro.) don’t know when this was posted but i had the same first thought as julie: since when was brown rice NOT considered a whole grain.
