Is brown jasmine a genuine brown rice?

Forums:

Or does it have a foot in the door of being a white rice?

Not sure.  Jasmine rice is good!  I've switched over to brown rice for the most part or a quinoa/brown rice blend.  

 

Can we make this a food thread since your question is so specialized?  Found about monk fruit as a sweetener.  I avoid artificial sweeteners and use honey, raw, or maple syrup depending on the situation.  Anyone have a preference on monk fruit juice or powder?

 

Jasmine rice is my favorite.  

"White jasmine rice is a type of white rice. Like all white rice, it's highly processed, which results in the loss of fiber and many nutrients. However, whole-grain varieties of jasmine rice, which range in color from brown to red to black, may be a healthier option than white rice"

brown basmati is gross

We have a ruling from the judges:  yes

I've never tried monk fruit sweetener, but willing to try it.  Agave is my go-to "healthy" sweetener and have found it to be far easier on my system than honey. 

^ good call on the agave

I've been wondering this same question myself.  No clarification to offer though.

Yeah, I've got a big stockpile of Dynasty brown jasmine, but can't help but wonder if it's only marginally "better" (if at all) vs white rice?  There's definitely a more fibrous texture to it vs white jasmine, but have also eaten other brown rices that are much more fibrous in texture.

I have also learned about parboiled rice during the pandemic and have decent stockpile of this.  Apparently, it falls in between brown and white re: nutritional rating.  I've noticed it "holds up" better as a leftover that gets reheated.

No idea about brown jasmine rice. I do know that wild rice is not actually rice but really a seed. 

As is rice.

Touche

Doesn't brown rice go rancid if you keep it around?

^ I have about six 5lb bags ... the earliest of which is set to "expire" in Oct of 2021 (packaged in July of 2020)

If I had a single 30lb bag, I'd be bit more concerned ... guessing that once the air gets to it, the process accelerates.   I want to say the parboiled is slightly longer.

Not sure if better quality organic rice might spoil quicker?

Can you freeze it?
