That's fine; i like it. I am wondering if there is one type of brown rice i would use if i wanted to add & mix to a recipe and not really see it.. and another i would use for say the brown rice pudding breakfast that would stay fimer when cooked. If there was a brown rice that would stay in the form or a grain with the firmness of reg rice pudding that would be great. I always use the long cooking rice. So are there different types that turn out different consistancies?

Posted Sunday, September 12, 2010 at 3:35 PM Typically, short grain rice is not as "seperate", that is, it tends to be more "gummy" and lends itself to recipes that need that. Back when I used rice for the crust to my quiche, I would use short grain rice and pat it down against the pie tin. Then I would pour in my quiche mixture. No more quiche...Elizabeth Elizabeth email

Posted Sunday, September 12, 2010 at 3:39 PM That's correct – the shorter the grain, the mushier the rice. Short grain = super mush. Medium grain = medium mush. Long grain = least mush. Brown Basmati Rice = no mush at all. There are also several Brown & Wild Rice blends that are good – Lundberg makes a really good one. Molly Horn

They have it in bulk in Gainesville Florida, but that's about a hundred miles round trip....Elizabeth Elizabeth email
