What setting and water level for zojirushi rice cooker np-nvc10? i was told to use white rice setting and brown rice water level.

I have the newer model NP-NWC10. I cannot stress the importance of cleaning the rice thoroughly. Imagine your cat peed on the rice and you were serving it to the Queen of England. That's how clean you need to make the rice. Buy a rice rinsing bowl - it will make things a lot easier. Rinse it and wait for the water to drain. Rinse it again. Then clean the rice using your fingers in a claw like motion, or use a rice paddle to roughly 'fold' the rice on itself as you rinse it. Rinse again until there is no opacity in the water at all when you put it in the rice cooker. If your first attempt to cook this is 'stodgy' then that's what you did wrong. You need to do this EVERY time, or one day you'll be sorry. I haven't noticed a huge difference between the gaba setting (this rice is already pre-germinated) and the brown rice setting. Personally I paid extra for this gaba setting - and I like to start preparing dinner in advance so that's what I'm using mostly. It does however take several hours so use brown rice setting if you don't have time. Nutritionally there may not be a huge difference but I'm honestly not sure. I think you *may* see more distinct sprouts in the rice if you use the gaba setting but I haven't done a scientific test on this yet. I do like to use about 90% of the water recommended - so just a little under the line. It will still 'stick' but it's definitely not 'sticky' rice.

Is this rice organic, non-GMO, or GMO?

There is no information on the package indicating the answers to your questions.

Hi. What is the shelf life of this rice?

Because brown rices, sprouted or not, have the oil-containing germ intact, it is important to store them as you would oils (away from light and heat) Refrigeration is OK but freezer storage works best. Or, with year-round cool temps/AC just store airtight in a dark place or opaque tin. How long? It really does vary as you do not know how old the rice is or how it has been stored.

Anyone have a recipe for cooking this rice in instant pot? multigrain or manual? time? i like my rice chewy.

It should be program: brown rice, or in the new rice cookers it is GABA rice. Don't soak it before cooking, it would be chewable.
