      • RocketSwitch on 31/08/2016 - 12:09

        I would stick to white rice thanks to the phytate and (greater) arsenic content in brown rice.

          I have a 50/50 mix of white and brown rice everyday.
          I really enjoy the nutty flavour of brown rice.
          I ferment my brown rice for a day, apparently it dramatically reduces the phytic acid.

        • RocketSwitch on 31/08/2016 - 15:23

          @jm48: Good point on the ferment, if you enjoy the flavour it's a great way to go. Thanks for sharing.

        • lainey13 on 01/09/2016 - 10:50

          That first link is from 1996 and the second is about rice in the USA. Got anything more relevant?

        • RocketSwitch on 01/09/2016 - 12:27

          @lainey13: Yes, here's one from 2009: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19774556

          When a study finds brown rice to have phytates, it doesn't need to be recent (I don't believe studies continue to search for the same thing), unless we GMO brown rice which is just as bad.

          Also, not sure why brown rice would be different in US vs Australia in terms of antinutrients? Found this study: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24892387

          Arsenic collects in the grain's outer layers, this is removed in white rice, but I believe there's still some traces, 80% more in brown.

          As mentioned by jm48, if you soak, sprouted or fermented brown rice, this may not be an issue. From what I know it doesn't eliminate it completely and can aggravate the gut, where white rice doesn't.

      • jm48 on 31/08/2016 - 14:40

        I will have to try it, though the jasmine comes from thailand I think.
        Which is a slight turn off compared to the Aussie grown medium grain.

        next time when u go asian grocer, try a pack of thai jasmine rice. superior quality. highly recommended.

    • searedtuna on 31/08/2016 - 14:09

  • PeeDee on 31/08/2016 - 11:48

    is that still cheap compared to the asian markets?

    • dasher86 on 31/08/2016 - 11:57
      +1

      depends on the quantity you buy.
      And also brand.
      For 5kgs pretty good price but more likely cheaper per kg in asian markets if you buy a larger qty.

      I find sunrice to be medium quality as well.

    • aaroncmw on 31/08/2016 - 14:40

      i think these are aus produce. asian grocer has thai produce, which are more fragrant and better quality. personally i like thai rice better.

    • [Deactivated] on 31/08/2016 - 23:04

      i rarely eat rice but know sunrice is old rice. coles home brand is even older. it takes longer to cook. asian places tend to sell newer crop.

    was $6 for 10kg @ Woolworths so useful for those that missed out! :)

    • Izefyre on 31/08/2016 - 12:52

      When was that? How can I miss it?? This has always been around $26-$27 per 20 kg bag at our local asian store.

      • Savas on 31/08/2016 - 21:50

        It was long grain so I didn't buy.

      • diazepam on 01/09/2016 - 03:29

        yeah my apologies. it was the normal white/brown rice… maybe long grain? (comment below)
        I thought I bought the short grain though? I'm not aware…

  • suicine94 on 31/08/2016 - 12:47

    what can I cook with this?

  • roonie on 31/08/2016 - 13:00

    Bugger. Just bought a 5kg bag of the (Brown) Jasmine rice last night!!!
    Really happy with it though. Had been buying brown Thai Jasmine rice but its been getting harder to come by.
    Its a great product though - no where near as chewy/tasteless as "normal" brown rice - but has more "substance" than traditional Jasmine rice
    Guess I'll be buying a second bag this week - probably a years supply!

    Warning this is rubbish imo. Quality is much worse than restaurant quality. The medium grain and basamati version by sunrice are good though.

    • supnigs super skids on 31/08/2016 - 15:42

      yeah, but whats the jasmine rice they use in restaurants? its definateely not this brand. totally different fragrance.

      • aaroncmw on 31/08/2016 - 16:04

        Thai Jasmine Rice, imported from thai. in every asian grocery. i think its called diamond? or some diamond shape on the 5kg/10kg/25kg package.

      • Jared17 on 01/09/2016 - 14:44
        +1

        Pretty sure most Thai restaurants use the ones imported from Thailand. I asked a waitress before but forgot the brand name now.

  • Ching ching on 31/08/2016 - 14:07

    Price online states save $8 ;)

  • [Deactivated] on 31/08/2016 - 15:48

    Is jasmine better than basmati? I though basmati was the nicest.
    And Thai jasmine is new to me too, so maybe that's nicer and more nutricious.

    • shtewe on 31/08/2016 - 15:57

      I prefer Jasmine over basmati for a rice which you can add it to anything and still be tasty. Basmati is pretty special for curries but.

      • [Deactivated] on 02/09/2016 - 13:16

        Thanks. I remember basmati having a beautiful smell. Will give it a go.

    • gunnny on 31/08/2016 - 19:50

      Absolutely not. Basmati is low GI, and is very good for diabetes patients.
      The texture and aroma of good basmati is fantastic.
      IF you want to buy good quality basmati, go to an Indian grocery store. Coles and wollies stock the low end of basmati.
      Good quality basmati is hard to get for any less that $3/kg when you buy in bulk.
