Can you buy brown rice in large quantities? At my local wal-mart it's only in a 2 pound box. I'm looking for something like a 5lb bag.

Try a Price-Rite or Shop-Rite if they are in your area, otherwise I guess it's a big box store.....
Hey, TomatoMustard, are you really going to use that much real soon? Brown rice doesn't keep all that well. Six months tops, and in the fridge, too.
I guess I didn't think about it like that. I only use it once every couple weeks; I just figured it would be cheaper to buy in bulk like I do white rice.
White rice, yes; brown rice, no. The oils in the brown rice go pretty soon.Originally Posted by TomatoMustard
Not to get off the subject of rice being a cheap meal extender, I often use steamed rice as a bed for stir-fries and Chinese. Beef or pork fried rice is another good meal extender and is great for leftover rice. But I wanted to mention that pasta (even cold, leftover pasta that I toss in olive oil and store in a ziploc in the fridge) can be used as a cheap meal extender, too, and makes a good base to top off with stir-fries, like pepper steak and mushrooms over pasta (or rice), sausages and peppers, etc.
Pasta and/or rice make soups and stews go farther the next day, too!

This is a face that the rice is very cheap as compared other dishes it is very easy to make and easy to eaten.No special things in not required for eating.In Asia rice is mostly eatable dish.
I just read a while back that white rice is one of processed foods and is a pure starch, which is part of the process of increasing glucose levels. Just thought I would put that out there. I eat a lot of rice myself, white, brown and wild rice, which I understand is not really a rice at all. Anyhow, I am not sure if a lot of rice would be good for you if you are diabetic. I like the grain Ferro, (very healthy) and bulger wheat also. They cook up easy and can be used hot or cold.
Wild rice is actually a grass! Your hi GI is white, short grain, Japanese. Best is brown, and brown basmati, okay is white basmati.
