It tastes like saw dust and you will throw up! It's like consuming raw flour derived from various protein rich plant sources. That's all.

I've never tried the rice classic one but no, there's no strong pea taste. I like the vanilla flavor because I add fresh berries, almonds & maca powder to it. U can make the vanilla into any flavor of shake that u like. Sometimes I add just fresh coconut & almonds. Hope this helps :)

I love the umami rice. I have the 5.5. I usually use the umami or GABA brown. You can cook less than the 5 cups and it comes out perfect. I have a small family (myself and my husband) it makes enough for leftovers and freezes well. It is large enough if we entertain and small enough for the two of us. Go with the 5.5.

My Lotus rice cooker makes wonderful brown rice. It also makes incredible steel cut oatmeal. I start it just before I go to bed.

The rice is brown, long and thin. There were a few green colored gains in our bag. It also taste like basmati when you eat it. But I don't actually know if it's basmati rice or a cousin? Hope this helped.

I don't agree. The packaging is different but the same brand name. The size of the kernel is a different size. I ordered this and the flavor is totally different than that of white or red. The flavor is stronger and distinctly nutty. It's a nice addition to your rice choices.

Everything that I have read on GABA rice, says that you use that cycle for nutrition not for taste or texture. I tried the GABA setting a couple of times and then went back to regular brown rice setting. Health benefits to me were marginal vs.the taste and texture that I love in brown rice.

I know it's been a long time since you've posted this, but I'd like to know if you mean regular cups, or the rice cooker cups? Cause I just learned today that those measurements are different. (Explains why my rice was crunchier than usual the other night when I was too lazy to wash the rice cooker cup.)I was thinking of setting this up to try this weekend, and you're the first one to post what seems to be a reliable recipe.

I find there is a slight difference in taste. It is subtle to me and hardly noticeable. However, with the regular noodle you geta stronger taste of the sauce that you are using. This is so subjective, it is hard to describe.

As for me, I don't think any food taste as good as the one cooked on charcoal. A friend of mine told me that it's all in my head, and he couldn't tell the difference. So yeah, I'm not much help. Sorry.

I think all the pea proteins come from the same place in China based on my search on Amazon. Funny, we're all buying the same thing under different brand names with different prices. If anyone finds one "sourced" in the US, please post.

My husband says that the Regular is stronger than the Original. I like the taste of the Original myself. The Regular is what they drink at work in Saudi Arabia so I've been trying to get some for him at home. Since I have not been able to get the Regular, they keep sending Original when I order, I don't personally know.

No, it's not chewy if you cook it properly, meaning don't overcook it. This blend has a nice mixture of the Texmati brown and also has wild rice and wheat and rye berries so those add nice texture as well. I haven't bought any other brand of rice since discovering this. I don't follow the cooking instructions though. I cook it strictly in chicken stock and never add butter. I've actually joined the automatic delivery system. If you like it once you've tried it, I highly recommend the automatic delivery because it is much cheaper that way and shipping is always free, even if the price doesn't meet Amazon's minimum purchase requirements for free shipping.

It really all depends on what you use it for. If only rice, than a regular model would suffice. Now if your making mixed dishes that use meat and poultry, than the pressure cooking option is a must. not to mention, if you love brown rice, but hate the hardness that accompanies brown rice. The Gaba brown rice feature pressurizes the water to 221 degrees Fahrenheit to increase the absorption of water in the rice to make it as soft as white rice. If you use this as a main kitchen appliance, than the cost seems rather inexpensive. but if it's just to make white rice, than cheaper options are available.

Hello David. I'm sorry I can't help because I haven't made regular rice yet. I Can tell you this. I've used to make Rice & Peas and a lot goes in it. 4 cups Rice, cocnut milk, black beans, garlic& onion, seasonings & water. My Meals take about 3-4 hrs to cook & the last 40 minutes I start rice & it's ready at the end. I would guess 15-20 minutes for reg rice. I love this thing & I've had many over the yrs. I recommend highly.

It's funny you should ask because my husband calls it sticky rice. It is very similar to sushi rice but I like it better for everything that uses rice from tacos to a side with chicken. It is the best tasting rice in my opinion. A Korean friend recommended it to me and it's all I have used since I first tasted it.

I use the Ceylon because they say it's better than the Saigon cinnamon. I found that it tastes better.
