Nishiki Premium Medium Grain Brown Rice 5 lb Bag

I've never been a fan of brown rice, neither the taste or the texture. I know how to cook it properly but it never had an appealing texture. Just made this last night for the first time. I wanted to see how it would be on its own, without adding meat or vegs to it. I used one packet of Sazon GOYA Con Azafran seasoning (also sold at Walmart) to two "rice cups" of rice in the rice cooker. Just water and a little olive oil, nothing else. Talk about simple. The first thing I noticed was the appetizing aroma that wafted through the kitchen as it cooked. As a side dish on its own it was so good I'm eating the leftover rice tonight, still adding nothing more to it. The texture was softer, chewy, with no hulls mixed in. This is a keeper brand for me.

This is my goto brand rice. It doesn't have all the dry husks the cheap brands do, doesn't require much, if any, rinsing. If you cook it right, it will be nice and fluffy. Probably the best bang for buck on the market. Hopefully it will stay that way, or I'm going back to dollar tree brand.
