Low Carb Rice

I have a rice cooker with 'low carb rice' setting. This rice cooker has a metal perforated inner 2nd bowl that holds the rice 1/2" above the water to steam this low carb rice. The default cook time is 45 minutes. On my first attempt, I used this setting and the rice came out too soft and overcooked. On my 2nd attempt, I kept everything the same except I stopped the cooking at 30 minutes... Perfect texture, great flavor. I'm very impressed. This turns out like perfectly cooked brown rice, and tastes the same to me.

This has a great taste and almost great texture, especially compared to other rice "substitutes". Is this replacing rice in sushi? Uh, hell no. And its the only thing I refuse to give up. But, this is a fantastic pairing for most foods I'd love to eat rice with in the past. Not really sure about the people complaining it was mush or like hard pellets, it comes out fine with each grain distinct and they dont mush together for me like so many other products that attempt to be a rice substitute. Each grain DOES have a bit of a firm bean-like texture though. Even after reheating. Im enjoying this far more than the other substitutes: heart of palm rice (too much of a sour flavor even after soaking to adjust Ph levels), shiritaki (rubber band texture), cauliflower (Now THIS one gets too mushy for me), and even daikon (which ends up being tolerable to me after a soak for many other dishes but not at all a rice sub imo). I also never got any bloating or nausea at all so I guess your mileage may vary.

I was VERY pleasantly surprised- this is really a great tasting alternative to rice! If you expect it to taste and feel EXACTLY like regular rice, then just eat regular rice, and don't complain about the carbs/ protein! It is a thicker "grain" and has a nice mild flavor almost similar to a pasta. After the cooking time, sample a little bit- I cooked mine just a tiny bit longer, to avoid a still too-hard center, but it came out perfectly after just a couple more minutes. Tastes fabulous in a casserole, and you'll barely notice the difference! I quite prefer this, actually! Yes it's a little pricey, but totally worth it in my opinion!

Will not be repurchasing. Weird gummy like texture, sticks to the cracks of your teeth so strongly that you have to use your finger to get it out or brush your teeth right away. Leaves a strange aftertaste too. I can normally stomach eating quite nasty things for the health benefits, which is why I purchased this as a healthy rice substitute, but even I could not finish a bag of this stuff. Going straight into the trash. So disappointed because this could have been the holy grail low carb answer for how much it cost.

rice itself if good, texture and taste is more like pasta, as is the cooking style, but i received 2 packs instead of 3. enjoyable, best carb protein and fiber ratio ive found thus far, but the price really gets me, especially if im given 2 instead of the promised 3.

Is this rice? No, but it mimics the texture and is a perfect vehicle as a side dish for us Keto dieters. I miss rice and used to eat rice everyday and I'm tired of spending so much on $$ on rice alternatives, this is the closest thing I could find that helps bulk my meal and fix my rice craving. It has a lot of fiber so I feel full....definitely eat a smaller portion to prevent being bloated and super gassy. The other reviewer about the farts is true, so eat it in smaller portions and not everyday. I boiled mine with triple amount of liquid to rice for 10min and let it sit for 10min to have it super soft like orzo. I don't like my "rice" crunchy. Boiled it with a savory broth like veg or chicken and onion and garlic powder and salt and it will be delicious. Because it's made out of beans it is has a slight bean flavor almost like hummus or chickpeas but that doesn't bother me..the pros out weigh the cons! I'd rather eat something similar to rice and pasta vs never having it again. Plus it soaks up any flavor or seasonings you add to it. Photo is a taco bowl I made with a fourth of one rice pkg, ground beef, and taco toppings. The price does suck but I get three rice portions out of one package and I don't eat it for every meal!

A great substitute for rice, in taste, texture and preparation. Great way to get protein allocation when on keto diet.

I added this rice to my weekly meal prep, and it’s been a game-changer. The texture is firm, not mushy, and it absorbs sauces beautifully. I feel satisfied after meals thanks to the high protein content, and it keeps my low-carb diet on track. It’s versatile enough for stir-fries, bowls, or salads, and knowing it’s gluten-free and plant-based makes it an easy choice for daily use.
