Reddit reviews Sukoyaka Brown Rice, Genmai, 4.4-Pound

It's called Sukoyaka Genmai; I got it on Amazon after reading reviews:

I like all kinds of rice, so I wasn't worried about not liking the brown riceness of it, but I can see why people who don't usually care for brown rice like it. It has a creamy and tasty flavor! It looks like pale brown rice (edit: I just looked it up and the style is called partially milled brown rice, or Japanese-style brown rice). Can probably be found at a lower price at a real life market though!

I know self-experience doesn't really count for shit here, because this subreddit is all about sources and how to manipulate them to fit your opinion.

But 50% or more of my calories everyday come from short-grain white rice. Koshihikari.

It is part of my life. I would have a very hard time eliminating such a staple food from my diet. And I'm not alone. 1/6 of the world calories consumed everyday from both developed and third-world countries is rice. Most often white.

I went on a brown rice phase for a few months, I did not feel any different and ultimately went back to the good stuff.

there are so many studies opposing each other and controversy, but what I've realized, is both are fine. But I prefer white.

The nutrients from brown rice are abysmal at best, should come in the form of vegetables anyway.

Pick which you think tastes better, and is more convenient to make (cooking times differ).

If you want to try a "mix" between the two, check out this. It's brown rice with about the same taste and cooking time as white.

the half-brown rice tastes almost as good. soak it for five minutes and it cooks as fast as white.

Two things have helped me, well maybe 3. I always add a little dashi or stock. I have learned that some rice is better than others and I really like Sukoyaka Genmai, and after years and years of no rice cooker and crappy rice cookers I got a good one and it changed my life - I like the Zojirushi ones with the fuzzy logic like this one. Now brown rice is an absolute treat, and since it takes longer to cook I can program the rice cooker to have it done when I need it after work.
