I've been using this brown rice, whole grain it is so great! But I didn't know what you have available....it's called Carolina Brown Rice long grain.

Jasmin. Normal white.

In the Asian market there is red more like beetroot color & my fav. Is Basmatti. Its Indian has a beaut flavor with curry.

I have been to a restaraunt & had Pilaf. I would love to

Make it.
