Is this white or brown rice?

it's white and very fragrant-too bad the price went from $20 to $40 in just a matter of months...

It isn't dyed, the color you see wash off is starch, which looks purple. It's not white rice. Its a different variety of rice, it tastes a little nuttier.

Johnny - you might want to experiment with a little more water than regular white rice. I cook brown rice in my Aroma rice cooker daily.

one or two cups of white rice takes 1 hour either way. Brown rice never done it. Nice machine and quality!

There are settings for the different types of rice. You push for white brown etc These are pre sets which are pretty right on. I have discovered that for wild rice only it takes longer so it is best to manually set. You have both options just as you can manually set for beans soups or stews once it reaches the pre set time it automatically switches to warm function until you open it. It has an alarm to let you know it is switching.

This is a grain that is supposed to be higher in protein content compared to white rice. You can try a small quantity of this that's available in stores like Whole Foods or Trader Joes before buying a large quantity bag like this one. This usually needs a little bit more water to cook well. See if you like the taste. Goodluck!

It is white. I purchased it thinking it was brown. Apparently they don't make a brown one any more...

I'm not an expert on rice, but for some reason, because this rice happens to have the longest rice grain in the world and is grown at the foothills of the Himalayas, I figured it was naturally white. I don't know if rice can naturally be white or not. I do know there is brown basmati, and rice that is imported has less arsenic than American rice. Here is what I found: "long grain Himalayan Red Rice contains more of the natural bran than white rice" does. For this reason it requires a longer cooking time and has a nuttier more complex flavor than processed white rice's." Never had any basmati but whiteb4-this is some of the best I have tried.Unfortunate that it used to be $20 and is now double in price.

This rice is very similar to parboiled rice where water is discarded during the boiling process of rice. Brown rice isn't the same thing from them.

I just checked the package. Brown rice flour is the only ingredient listed.

It should work with both. Just watch out for the right rice-to-water ratio. Usually brown rice requires more water.

If you find out where this rice cooker is from please let us know. As for brown rice, I usually put more water (ex. 2cups rice, 4 1/2cups water) it turns out fine.

It is a blend. Two colors black and something like mahagany. Good stuff. Outstanding. Only rice I buy.

I too found my brown rice to be a little "mushier" than I would have liked. I just use a little less water than the marking on the cooker and have excellent tasting rice that is neither mushy nor hard.

I just add a little extra water for brown rice. I can't remember for sure if I got that from the instructions, but I think so.
