Brands of Rice in USA

[kev_n_jena 89]

I realize bread is more popular than rice in the US, but many immigrants grew up eating rice everyday. If this applies to you, what brand and type do you prefer here in the US?

Our favorite is "Imperial Dragon" Jasmine Rice from Thailand.

"Royal" Basmati, from India--which is (in DC/Balto and Philly metro-areas) cheaper (if bought in Costco) than regular rice or Jasmine.

(and it's also cheaper than Royal Sona Masoori @ Costco--FTW)

Uncle Ben's Converted Rice. Plain old white rice.

Probably not what you had in mind, but in Texas we grew up with it---rice and gravy, red beans and rice, chicken and rice, and of course roast over rice every Thursday in the school cafeteria (better known as 'roach over lice' to the school kids). Probably a very different culture to yours.

Wife really likes Three ladies brand Jasmine from our local filipino store. A good substitute is the plain white 50 lb. bag from Sam's. I'm lucky if 50 lbs lasts a month!

Apart from Jasmine, I alternate it with a Japanese rice brand Nishiki.

Thai Jasmine, every time, regardless of the brand.

My mother-in-law was amazed at "minute" rice here in the U.S. -- no need to cook it for half the day or however long non-minute rice typically takes.

I got hooked on rice after visiting my fiance in Cainta last February. now I eat rice all the time, and what you mentioned, "Imperial Dragon" Jasmine Rice from Thailand." is exactly what I buy, I buy it at Walmart by the 20 pound bag. I store a lot of it in food grade plastic containers "just in case"
