Great Value Natural Brown Long Grain Rice, 5 lb (80oz)

I've been buying this rice regularly and it's a pantry staple for me. It cooks up consistently and has a nice texture, not too mushy, not too dry. I usually make it in a Joseph Joseph microwave rice cooker, and it comes out perfect every time with barely any effort. It's honestly made cooking brown rice way easier and more consistent for me. My go-to is adding toasted almond oil, garlic chili crisp, and green onions, and this rice holds up perfectly to all those flavors. It absorbs everything really well without getting heavy, which is exactly what I want. For the price and size, it's a really solid option if you eat rice often. Nothing fancy, but it does its job and works great as a base for quick meals.

Makes great dishes. I've used various rices with good results. Occasionally, I make vegetarian dishes for myself. You can add meat. I add quinoa or cook it in the rice. First cook spices in a little oil, add onions, peppers, fresh spices %26 vegetables are best. After they're cooked down while stirring, I add the rice %26 quinoa. I've even added lentils. This makes a great protein meal or even soup by using different items.
