Find Best Price at Amazon"I have purchased this Cooked Organic Brown Rice a few times now."
"This rice is really good."
"I've found that, with my microwave (a GE built-in model), I microwave on high for 1 minute 20 seconds to keep it from drying/clumping too much."
"I guess we have to go out to eat" The rice is good (never a problem with mold as some have mentioned) and the texture works well alone, in salads or mixed with veggies and such."
"I put either some butter or some cheese on top before I microwave."
"To rectify, peel back the lid to the dotted line, run the water faucet to add three or four tablespoons of water, push the lid back down slightly and microwave on high for TWO minutes and let sit and steam for 5 minutes...Perfecto!"
"We love to cook with it, and it is great to add in hamburger, into bell peppers, for stir fries, and for anywhere you would use white instant rice."
"However, for quick lunches, we needed something portable and that we could keep stocked in the office for unplanned lunch needs."
