This company also makes a brown rice. Is the brown rice also lower glycemic index rice?

This rice is very similar to parboiled rice where water is discarded during the boiling process of rice. Brown rice isn't the same thing from them.

No. It has the same number of calories as any other sugar. My understanding is that it has less of a glycemic impact.

There is a "Organic Sprouted Brown Rice Protein" mentioned in the nutritional information section. Hope this helps.

No it isn't the same. The problem with sugar is the fructose. Rice sugar (aka brown rice sugar) is 100% glucose that is easily broken down and has no negative impact on the liver or metabolism. It is a 98 on the GI for sugars and can spike blood sugars. But as stated earlier it's all glucose. Fructose is the problem. This is according to current studies but we know how that can change. In short no bad fructose, no negative affect on liver and metabolism and easily digestible by the body. HOWEVER, can spike blood sugar due to 98 GI.Depends on what your looking to manage regarding your health. Hope that helps some. No it isn't the same. The problem with sugar is the fructose.

No sweetener at all. That is what I like about it too! Just rice protein from whole grain, sprouted brown rice. Hope this helps.

Kelly, If you look for studies (rather than claims about non-existent studies) you'll get to the bottom of this. If interested, go to the website of ORYZA, the patent holder for rice-based formulas. The Japanese clinical studies were all based on rice--not comparisons to other types of extracts. The only known comparison study was done is a laboratory, and the results are totally irrelevant, yet this study is the basis for false claims about "clinical" superiority of rice ceramides. A translation of this work appears on the Oryza website. Check it out & you'll see!

I bought 4 kinds of brown rice to test out, and made 2 cups of each with the same amount of water, and each in the GABA mode. The short grain 'sweet brown' came out gummy, the other three came out perfect. My conclusion: the sweet rice was pre-processed so it would work with white rice settings and could not stand up to the extended brown setting from this cooker. Based on this, you need tougher rice or a gentler setting. If you tried GABA mode, try the non GABA brown mode. If you tried the non GABA brown mode, try the Umami mode.

Try go ogling their brand. Their website will show that type of info. I will say, it's brown rice protein. Maybe cacao for the chocolate flavor?

Don't know where it was made. Japan or Korea, I think. I can tell you I haven't been able to get decent results when using this rice maker to cook brown rice. I've tried to vary the ration of water to rice in a number of ways. Each time the rice comes out very hard.

I do not know what that means. We always cook brown rice and that is what it is on when we cook a new batch.

In my opinion, the Manitoba brand and ths one in particular has benn , is , most effective. I measure what it does for me and my glucose has dropped from 8.7 to 7.4 a1c

It should work with both. Just watch out for the right rice-to-water ratio. Usually brown rice requires more water.

Nishiki Premium Rice comes in both white and brown. The plain premium rice doesn't mention "Brown" but the other clearly states "Brown Premium Rice". I'm not sure why the Nishiki order you made came in white, when you clearly wanted Brown rice. I looked at the supplier I order my rice from and the rice is clearly marked. I believe Brown rice is more nutritious than white rice. If the white rice bothers you that much, I would return it for a bag of brown. Many vendors on Amazon make returns/exchanges simple/easy. Good luck... (The white rice is flavorful, maybe this one bag won't ruin your decision to try Nishiki white rice). Nishiki Premium Rice comes in both white and brown.
