Maybe I’ve never really looked, but I haven’t seen frozen brown rice outside of Trader Joe’s. When I first saw the box, I dismissed it… but after getting tired of waiting forever for brown rice to cook, I gave it a try. I was skeptical when I opened the box. The rice looked strange, and the instructions called for cooking it in the microwave without any additional water. Regardless, I followed the instructions and put it in the microwave for 3 minutes as suggested. I was pleasantly surprised! I couldn’t ask for much better brown rice if I cooked it myself. The taste, texture, and moisture were spot-on. I’d like to use this in various recipes where it calls for the rice to be sauteed before boiling, or slowly cooked with other ingredients… but I’m not sure how it’d turn out. Anyone have experience with it?
