I've been missing rice deals since inflation. This is Aussie rice @ $1.75/kg (RRP $4/kg).

Bonus farm bricks pack with every rice item purchased (note minimum $30 spend) if you're collecting (or selling) those (up to 3 bonus packs per brand).

I usually just grab a 10kg giant pack, but these are price comparable with this deal.

There is cheaper vietnamese rice instore, if you dont mind about where it's from.

Good 1/2 price deals to bump up the spend for the brick minimum:
- Decor oil sprayer
- Leggos ravioli
- Los bros kombucha 2x 4pks for $6 (online only)

    Also sunrice gives a bonus farm bricks pack with every rice item purchased, if you're collecting (or selling) those

    You'll need to spend $30 first to qualify.

      Thanks! Will update.

      • Embaloo on 16/02/2023 - 20:51

        For the bricks?

      • Neoika on 16/02/2023 - 21:21

        $50 pre-discount code. You can apply the monthly 10% off code for eligible customers to make it minimum $45.

    $4 each or 2 for $3.50?? That looks like an error, it's even cheaper than the homebrand one lol

    • Embaloo on 16/02/2023 - 20:27

      Yeah i know right. Shhhh. Instore and online. Multiple stores. At first i only saw the tag on the white rice, (usually only buy brown) but next woolies had the tag on both.

      • pennypincher98 on 16/02/2023 - 20:29

        God damn I just went to Woolies this afternoon and you're making me want to go again tonight 😂

      Then RRP (or usual price) in description should be $16.

    Brown rice fibre is not very easy to deal with for a lot of bodies. Need to soak/ferment before cooking to ease the load, unless you’ve been a vegetarian for a while who's already built up the good fibre-processing bugs. Even more so with black rice.

    • slowmo on 17/02/2023 - 02:52

      Good rice cookers does this automatically. The tiger one I got from Costco cooks black/red/brown long grain or basmati and I get soft fluffy rice.
      No soaking dramas. Before I got that rice cooker I used to have to do it overnight even.

      • frugalftw on 17/02/2023 - 08:39

        Huh haven’t used a rice cooker forever. Yeah overnight was the norm for me too before I stopped eating rice regularly. Substituted with broccoli a decade or so ago, works well when the price isn’t super inflated.

        • stephendt on 17/02/2023 - 09:26

          Rice cookers are the way to go. 13 bucks at Kmart well spent

        • slowmo on 17/02/2023 - 13:16

          haha you reminded me of the times where it was super cheap that I buy it just for the florets and the times it’s so expensive i invented new ways to cook and eat the stem.

          • frugalftw on 17/02/2023 - 16:28

            @slowmo: Lol I do the same when it was around $2 a kilo. At the expensive times around $7 a kilo, I discovered the frozen ones from Aldi :) It’s all florets.

            I was brought up eating the stems, it just takes a bit of time to trim off the tough skin. You can also lacto ferment the stems apparently.

      • haru on 23/02/2023 - 00:58

        Good rice cookers can make rice more tasty, but none will remove phytic acid, which is what makes brown rice hard to digest properly, because unlike cattle humans do not possess the necessary enzyme (phytase) to process it naturally.

        Fortunately there is an easy way to remove up to 96% of it through soak/ferment. Here endeth the lesson.

        • slowmo on 23/02/2023 - 10:50

          did you forget to mention that this is not an issue if you eat a varied diet?
          eg. if you eat meat regularly, that's not a concern.

          so disregarding the fact that you brought a nutrition topic into a thread about cooking rice properly… i suggest you to read up on why phytic acid might be beneficial in some cases.

          instead of spreading selectively picked facts.

    • Nom on 23/02/2023 - 09:35

      You do know you have to cook brown rice twice as long ?
      Sounds like you're just trying to eat it undercooked 🤷🏼‍♂️
      You definately don't need to do any pre-soak - half an hour in the microwave uncovered at 70% power with a 5:1 ratio of boiling water to brown rice (ie 500ml of boiling water for every 100g of rice) and you're good to go 😎

      • slowmo on 23/02/2023 - 10:55

        with some rice cookers , you really don't need that sort of dramas.

        wonder when are people going to realise this.. not all cookers are made the same.

        why do i feel that i'm reading comments by people arguing about stews needing 8 hours to cook but 2-4 hours on the pressure cooker will blow their minds and it's impossible?

        • Nom on 23/02/2023 - 12:13

          I don't even have a rice cooker, I just use the microwave…

          What dramas are you referring to ?

      • frugalftw on 23/02/2023 - 12:37

        No, I was referring to different types of fibre requiring different types of bugs to break down in the digestive tract.

        You can cook any fibre to soften it so you can chew easily, but that's not the same as breaking it down and assimilate whatever nutrients are in it. Not to mention what else you might potentially be killing when exposing foodstuffs in prolonged heat.

        Soaking overnight effectively ferments the rice, allowing the bacteria that's already on the surface to activate and multiple to break down the fibre.

        Cooking is not about the taste. Food is not about the calories. </OpinionatedOZNutrition>

        • Nom on 23/02/2023 - 13:26

          Understood - I'm purely referring to the cooking of the rice, I have no opinion on the nutritionals 😎

    Brown Rice isn't as good as they say

    • pizzaguy on 17/02/2023 - 11:41

      What have you heard?

      • SpeedRunnerLink on 17/02/2023 - 11:56

        Higher traces of arsenic compared to white rice.

        • turtlesinmypants on 17/02/2023 - 13:34

          FSANZ has strict limitations on the amount of arsenic found in rice (one milligram per kilo) and monitors levels of arsenic through the Australian Total Diet Survey (ATDS), and also through an independent laboratory. Both reviews, Urbaniak says, show that the levels of arsenic we all consume aren’t concerning.

          That said, the body is aware of the recent developments, and will be conducting a review of all metal contaminants in foods, including the current recommendations for children and rice consumption.

          If you are still concerned, perhaps there’s comfort to be found in this fact: the Swedish study found a nifty way to cut the amount of arsenic in rice in half - and you’re probably already doing it. Boil in lots of water, drain the water off, and eat.

          • SpeedRunnerLink on 17/02/2023 - 15:04

            @turtlesinmypants: I personally just eat white rice.

            Have been for many years one to two times a day.

            Asians have been eating white rice for centuries without any issues.

            Obviously as you get older you cut down on carb/rice consumption.

            But I dont see the need to go to Brown Rice not to mention it takes longer to cook and texture isnt as nice to chew

            • slowmo on 17/02/2023 - 15:08

              @SpeedRunnerLink: Fwiw not all rice are the same and it used to be only royalties eat black rice. What works in the past may not work today because tens of centuries ago petrolum products wasn’t invented.

              Back then it’s all laborious hard work and there isn’t such thing as hfcs and soda water or other crap. So eating rice was an efficient way to replenish energy.

              Today it’s a bit different. I can safely say people working in offices shouldn’t be downing that much carbs.

              On a decent rice cooker there’s no significant amount of time difference to cook brown red or black rice. You just have not come across such a cooker yet.

            • frugalftw on 17/02/2023 - 16:39

              @SpeedRunnerLink: Asians also have the genetic code to handle white rice because of generations of adaptations. Unless your ancestors ate rice twice a day, it might not be a great food source for you. In the same way coffee is not a natural food for a lot of Asian cultures, it might cause issues in the kidneys/adrenals but not in other races for the same amount of consumption.

              You can easily test this on animals. Cats for example will gravitate towards food they have the genetic code for, and easily refuse those that do not fit. This only works for unprocessed food of course.

          • slowmo on 23/02/2023 - 10:57

            @turtlesinmypants: wait, did they literally suggest to cook the rice gloopy and drain it in a colander? Haiyaaa
