Brown Rice:
I tried for weeks to get the flavor, prep and storage right for brown rice after reading articles concerning the benefits of brown rice. Here are my problems First, I work 30+ hours a week and have the 2 under 2 50+ hours a week the 1 hour plus time it takes to prepare was just to long. In addition preparing and freezing almost always produced what could only be described as rice mush . Second, as I have mentioned before i buy in bulk @samsclub. All the information I have read about brown rice says it must be stored in the freezer I don't have room in the freezer for 15 pounds of rice. In the third place I make a lot of "hamburger helper" style rice meals from scratch and this just did not work with brown Rice. Finally, even with my best prep methods the taste of the brown rice never justified all the headaches.
The Basmati decision:
I was reading "eat this not that" and they suggested basmati rice if you have to have white rice. I bought a small bag my family and I loved the texture as well as the taste. I love the quick prep time and ability to Use in all my recipes, as well as its bulk availability @samsclub.
