Exactly, which creates a far different blood sugar response than eating the item standalone, which is what the Glycemic Index was first based upon.

[GOP_Party_Animal]

Yeah, unsolicited nutritional advice is among the least welcome.

[Codeflier]

And low carb freaks are worse than vegetarians about bringing it up!

[RockyTx]

this story is just made up

price of rough rice is 17.8 USD per hundredweight,
not that unusual

They can have my share, not a big fan, but I do like the smell of jasmine rice in the steamer.

‘unsolicited nutritional advice’:

I got along w/o it for 76 years and I might just get along w/o it for another 20.

A Harvard Medical School study has reported that eating a single serving of white rice has “almost the same effect as eating pure table sugar”

Which is why one should eat either brown rice or haiga (rice with the germ) instead. I just ordered a 45# bag of haiga, which alongside my present holdings will keep me in sufficient rice until the next harvest, since I only eat it occasionally.

P.S. I still have my 50yo Panasonic rice cooker. I visited a Showa (postwar) era museum a few years back, and they had one on display; Japanese visitors are always shocked when they see mine in the kitchen.

Why? I would be shocked if it was anywhere else....................

Yes this is a great thing. It will help cool the planet.

SMDH! Guessing a lot of these fidiots have “zero” experience trying to work in extreme cold. Warmer is better.

“Global rice shortage is set to be the biggest in 20 years”

Only if it goes according to plan.

[ViLaLuz]

Huh. I’ve eaten rice nearly every day of my life with no problem.

[Pollard]

It stores very well in buckets

[Fresh Wind]

Just switch from fried rice to flied lice.

I think it depends on the person.

I took a little folklore based test ... chew a sliver of potato until it starts to taste sweet. The time would tell how well you digest carbs ... i.e. earlier is better. Mine never changed flavor so I guess I’m not real good at carbs.

[chajin]

OK, I deserve that 🤣

[ViLaLuz]

Being Japanese helped me, I guess.

[M Kehoe]

Hi.

If true Asians will riot.

Countries will go to war.

No matter, I know how it ends.

I read the Book(s).

Rice is produced in south Louisiana but I’m guessing the average American is unaware of that fact & doesn’t make note of it on the packaging.
Awhile back, I remember reading something about Vietnamese rice growers and shrimp fishermen getting preferential treatment over Louisiana’s.
Same wrt Cuba’s sugar cane vs Louisiana’s.

What else should one expect with so many countries banning synthetic fertilizers? It’s already causing starvation in many parts of Africa.
