Why is it filed under "Brown" rice. Now I am stuck with a 15 lbs bag of white rice? Is the nutritional value of this rice equivalent to brown rice?

Nishiki Premium Rice comes in both white and brown. The plain premium rice doesn't mention "Brown" but the other clearly states "Brown Premium Rice". I'm not sure why the Nishiki order you made came in white, when you clearly wanted Brown rice. I looked at the supplier I order my rice from and the rice is clearly marked. I believe Brown rice is more nutritious than white rice. If the white rice bothers you that much, I would return it for a bag of brown. Many vendors on Amazon make returns/exchanges simple/easy. Good luck... (The white rice is flavorful, maybe this one bag won't ruin your decision to try Nishiki white rice).

No, I got screwed with a bag of white rice also. Was going to cry about it to get my money back but I don't care enough.

It's dye. They say it's whole grain. But if you carefully find a half rice. The broken surface is black too. If you break one rice. It's white .

Yes. Ingredients, from package: "Enzymatically processed rice protein from certified organic, whole grain, sprouted brown rice". I don't know why the information on Amazon doesn't mention it's brown rice - probably an oversight (or intentional omissions due to thinking that consumers wouldn't be interested) from whoever manages the sales process.

It is a complete protein. So if you want to replace your white rice with this and other grains it will serve a s a better source of protein/carb that your body can utilize. Hope that makes sense.

I have cooked brown rice in my cooker. You have to use a lot more water than with white rice. Use an additional unit of water with brown rice.

Curious about this item. Do a search for "ingredients in enzymatic processed rice". Phoned Nutribiotic and discovered some of their "organic brown rice" comes from China, some from India, and some of the "enzyme processing" may also occur in China. On a positive note Vitamin Shoppe has a great return policy. Opened items with a receipt maybe exchanged/or store credit. In regards to Nutribiotics I might give "Nutribiotic 100% US Grown Rice Protein, Vanilla 1 lb. 5 oz (600 g) a test when or if it becomes available in my local store. I am not a fan of ordering products I have not previously used from Amazon due to s/h in the rare instance of cases such as these. Curious about this item.

for white rice/jasmine rice/basmati rice if i use a cup of rice i add the dry rice first then add water up to the 1 mark. for brown rice it is slightly different, i use slightly less water per cup of rice.

I use the brown rice setting for brown rice and it works wonderfully. I don't know about gaba, haven't tried it yet but I would probably use the gaba setting the first time anyway to see how it turned out. After all, that is what it was designed for. Then, if I wasn't pleased I might try the brown rice setting. This cooker is amazing.

So far I have found the Lundberg Wild Blend to be but cultivated wild rice. Brown rice is very good for you, much better than white or wild but it does taste "different" . I think the reason it does is that, basically, brown rice is a whole grain rice. Since it is suppose to be better for you than the better tasting rices, I suggest you try doing what I do and that is I mix my rice to suit my taste. Like you, I'm not really hot on brown rice but I use it nonetheless. I'll mix a 1/4 cup of brown with this Lundberg Wild Blend being 3/4 cup and it masks the 'chewy and funny' taste rather well. I also use soups as a base for my rice which helps the taste of the rice. So far I have found the Lundberg Wild Blend to be but cultivated wild rice.

You would have to weigh this out yourself, as no one opens the bag and measures out the total number of cups. What I can say is the ratio of water to rice, if you like really sticky rice, it is 1-1/2 water to 1 cup rice; if you do 1-2 it won't really get mushy, but if you just want normal rice then I would do 1-3/4 water to 1 cup rice If you have any rice at home then just measure out 15 pounds and that is how many cups you will get, as the size of this rice is pretty much normal to most rice kernels.

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.

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.

I ordered a 25 pound bag of Lundberg eco-farmed brown basmati rice on November 25, 2013. The only information on the bag that seems date-related is a string of characters on the bottom seam: 131016 B. This may or may not refer to October 16, 2013.

The "nutrition" button is if you are using half soybeans half rice, or other ingredients rather than soybeans. We had to read through the Chinese part of the manual to get that info though.
