I remember reading once about how a lot of Asians developed a Vitamin B deficiency called BeriBeri when they introduced white rice. When you remove the bran and germ layers you are just left with pure carbohydrate with no fibre and very little vitamins. Yet people still consider white to be superior. White > brown = racism.
It's much harder for me to find wholemeal spaghetti than "white" pasta, for instance. Wheat products used to be highly affordably but skyrocketed in 2023. I miss Indomie noodles for 43 cents a packet (the makers stated on their website that wheat prices for them had increased by 17%, but prices in Australia for their noodles increased by 115%). Now rice is the only affordable food (I am defining affordable here as price per Calorie - this makes green leafy vegetables extremely unaffordable since they are so energy dilute). Rice compared to kale is like nuclear fission compared to windmills.
racism
Really? I bet you're one of those people who are so desperate to identify racism so you'll manufacture it where none exists.
Yep i think brown chocolate is better than white. My caucasian wife thinks white chocolate is better, is she racist??
Late to the party on this, but there was no "introduction" of white rice. White rice is brown rice with the outside husk removed from the grain. Only Westerners think that brown rice is healthy, largely because some lifestyle guru in the USA in the 1970s declared it to be so.
Why wouldn't billions of Asians eat their rice brown if it's so much better for them? It all comes down to arsenic. Groundwater in large parts of Asia has very high levels of arsenic. Most parts of Vietnam is extremely high, but also Thailand and India from where we source most of our imported rice, but it can vary enormously over quite small differences. Nearly all of the arsenic taken up by the plant is retained in the rice husk - the "brown" part of the rice, which has not been eaten in Asia since forever.
As far as I know, Australia does not have requirements for testing arsenic in imported food, but I no longer eat brown rice and get my fibre elsewhere.
Also, white rice has an indefinate shelf life if stored correctly (dry, cool, dark), but the oils in the rice bran (brown rice) will go rancid within a couple of years.It sounds like you're pushing racist propaganda here. /s
Thank you. This is even cheaper than the 5kg ones when it is 1/2 price.
Bulking season. Thanks OP. Just finished my 45lbs from costco.
Ah just had a bloody moth infestation with my brown rice bag
Sounds like you need to buy some more rice.
To breed more moths?
Free protein additives
I put started putting my rice in a fridge a few years ago to avoid this, if you have the room in your fridge, it's the solution :)
Made me think.
If you store it in the fridge to slow down the development any critters, you assume they're already there, as eggs or larvae.
If you store it in the fridge to isolate it from moths, then it can be in any sealed container.
We use a large feta cheese bucket that holds about 10kg of rice at a time. Any food container will do with an air tight lid, keeps out weevils and moths anyway
Put it in the freezer for 48 hours. It will kill the eggs, larvae or bugs.
Buy a sealed plastic container to keep 5KG rice in.
Bonus Ovenware credit too.
Isn't that only for the 2KG bag?
It does appear in the search bonus ovenware credit. The problem is their system can't seem to handle display both, so only displays one.
Good to know, thanks :)
So could you do 10 separate transactions and get 10 bonus points or that's not how it works…
I don't think you even need to do separate transactions. But I have no real idea.
is it like Basmati rice?
I believe white rice is less aromatic than basmati
Just add coconut oil while cooking rice for aroma
Nah it’s crap rice. Can only make sticky rice with this. None of that fancy stuff
That doesn't make it crap. There is different rice for different dishes/different cuisines. It's not one type of rice to suit all dishes.
After using Jasmine rice, I too fall into the category of calling standard white rice "crap".
I will happily eat jasmine from my rice cooker 100% on it's own. This type of standard white rice however, no chance, needs to be drowned in something. The other way I have gotten around making it edible is to mix it with brown rice.@snuke: I've never met anyone who eats any type of plain rice on its own, but if you enjoy it, you do whatever works for you ;)
Long grain rice is a must for many Asian dishes and additionally for authenticity, but hey, if just cooking at home, who cares, have whichever you prefer :)@SimAus007: I don't eat it on its own, but I would be happy to with Jasmine. Well, to a point I guess.
White Long is passable in the stir fry's we do, because you're not really tasting the rice, just experiencing its texture.I have eaten regular white rice for decades and never given it any thought. It wasn't until I got a proper rice cooker and also had Jasmine with it, that it opened my eyes. I thought I stuffed up and cooked too little rice, but after another cook, I realised it was the first time having regular white and not Jasmine since we got the rice cooker.
@SimAus007: Have a dumb-ass cousin who enjoyed eating raw pasta and rice when young…..
No idea where that recessive gene originated from, but no one else in the extended family has it…
@beltdrive: All depends on the meal, I use Basmati for somethings, but it's just not right for so many things.
I use Daawat Brown Basmati.
What's wrong with sticky rice?
Just need a special on mango now.
Good special as Coles and Woolworths home brand white rice is $1.80/kg
Anyone know what aldi rice retails at
Wow, pretty good price!
Aldi's Imperial Grain (Long Grain) is $3.59 for 2Kg or $1.80 per 1Kg.
Pretty cheap! Still think i'll pay the slight premium on aussie rice when on special, as this is thai.
Rice aficionado’s should skip this thread….
Anyone know what kind of rice I need to make Bangladeshi aromatic pulao? The dish I had was called palau rice with chicken korma curry. I don't know if it's specific to Bangladesh or other places too but I really enjoyed it.
Take Basmati and will never miss.
Use quality Pakistani or Indian basmati from the international section of Woolies/Coles or sub-continent store.
I currently use Katoomba premium basmati and it’s heaps better than any of the 1kg basmati bags you get in the rice isle.
Brown one?
Using Aldi Basmati for several years in rice cooker. Fluffs nicely and was a product of India, latest bag shows Pakistan. The Sunrice Basmati also from Pakistan on Coles, so reasonable chance they are the same.
I refuse to buy Australian grown rice as it uses so much precious water we don't have…
Good on you for keeping demand on calrose rice low.
What do you guys eat long grain white rice with? Curry?
How many kilos can a Coles trolley withstand, if I place an order for 200kg worth would that be rejected.
rice alone is not enough. You also need chilli sauce and broccoli, especially baby broccolis.
avo's on toast must be somewhere in the mix
This rice is imported from Thailand.
NO! On principle, I only buy Australian grown rice.Thai rice is better than Australian rice.
Your principles are skewed and narrow minded.How about Australian rice grown in Thailand with a side of Honey @I Smell Pennies
Rice down to reasonable price. Thx
