or maybe you mean ���� (brown rice?)
Most Korean people use a mixture of the normal white rice with the other stuff- tastes better than the straight white to me.
You can get packs of the instant rice with other grains mixed in if you want to try it without getting a whole bag. |

Many people confuse multi-grain with whole-grain.
Multi-grain contains many different grains - rice, wheat, corn, etc. However, multi-grain does not mean that those grains are whole. It could be multi-grain yet still contain processed (no bran) grains.
Whole-grain has not been processed and still contains the bran, and is thus better for your health. |

He didn't ask for *whole grain*..
He asked for wholemeal, wild, grained rice.
I was just offering one option.  |

Whole meal products are made from whole grain flour. Grained rice is the same as whole grain rice. Wild rice means unprocessed rice, also known as whole grain rice.
If the original poster followed your advice, s/he would have received a multi-grain product, which, as mentioned earlier, contains many different grains (notice the "multi" part), not necessarily a whole grain. Thus, following your option could lead the original poster to receive a product that contained wheat, corn and rye -- no whole grain rice, which is what the OP seeks.
It may seem like a petty difference, but for those of us who actually see the difference and recognize its significance to a person's health, it's not. I ditched processed grains about a year and a half ago. Since that time, I've dropped eight pounds, almost entirely from the change in diet. Additionally, I sleep better, have more energy and a better mood. I assume that the original poster seeks the same benefits, and, thus, needs correct information. |

Whole grain- unprocessed. Like brown rice and whole wheat. Of course, brown rice often is somewhat processed- go into even Homeplus and they have a variety of brown rices of various degrees of processing- from rich tan to almost white.
Multi-grain- A product with a variety of grains in it
Wild rice- Wild rice is not really even related to what is generally known of as rice. It is a grain discovered in the Americas and was used by the natives in a similar way as rice.

| Wild rice (Zizania palustris L.) is native to North America and grows predominantly in the Great Lakes region. This large-seeded species, one of four species of wild rice, is in the grass family (Poaceae) and has been eaten by people since prehistoric times. Early North American inhabitants, especially the Ojibway, Menomini, and Cree tribes in the North Central region of the continent, used the grain as a staple food and introduced European fur traders to wild rice. Manomio, the name they gave wild rice, means good berry. Early English explorers called this aquatic plant wild rice or Indian rice, while the French saw a resemblance to oats and called it folle avoine. Other names given to wild rice include Canadian rice, squaw rice, water oats, blackbird oats, and marsh oats. However, the name "wild rice" persisted and today it is the common name for the genus Zizania, even though the wild type of rice (Oryza) is also called wild rice. |

Homeplus- just look at it- the brown rice is brown. The browner, and more expensive, the rice, the less processed. They also have organic brown rice.
I can tell you something about grains, but the Korean names will have to come from someone else.  |

| Yeah, but the grains included in ��� are usually all whole grain anyway -- and I've never seen a mix that included corn. It's usually brown rice (����), millet, black rice, some beans etc. and quite tasty and healthy. Brown rice is great, but I think that ��� is at least as good, if not better. If I didn't keep getting sacks of white rice from the inlaws I'd be mixing our ��� with extra ���� instead of with ��� (I think that's what white rice is called...) In my opinion, that would be the best way to go. |

I use that mix 50/50 with brown rice, garlic, ginger and hot peppers in my rice cooker. I use this as the base for a lot of meals, including having it with deonjeong, sesame oil and soya sauce. Some tofu with that is great. Lots of whole grain and soy protein, and yummy. |

I stand corrected regarding several points.
Thanks for the information. I learned a lot about my own ignorance regarding grains. |

Mixing rice with ��� is the only way my husband will eat his rice, except when we go to a resto..
I, on the other hand, don't like rice much but when I eat it I prefer it white. |

Thanks for all the responses, who'd have known rice is so complicated!
Desultude your cooking sounds awesome! Shame I have to boil rice the old fashioned way, sans rice cooker.
I dont use it often, just in the odd thai and indian dish so 500grams lasts a long time. I'll hit Carreffour and just but the brownest stuff i find, or the most varied  |

I've cooked my brown rice in the old-fashioned way, but repeatedly sustained a very sore stomach. There had been previously no problems with white rice, using the same cooking rule of thumb method.
Does anyone know how to cook brown rice, b/c I bought in bulk?
I inherited a cooker, but can't get the stink out and I'm not taking a chance, after having refamiliarised myself with the sore stomach. . |
