rice: foraged wild, commercial wild, and brown (Re: now diarrhea out the wazoo)

[Guest guest]

hi, heidi and all--

> My son can't digest brown rice. I don't know why -- if it is an

additive or the bran itself, but no one really gets along with it. <

i understood that wild rice was not that closely related to brown...?

but, as i said, this was " whole foods's " and not WFN's. i've just

read that commercial wild rice is different from the foraged in that

the latter has had the hull partially removed; it, the commercial,

requires a longer cooking time and more liquid.

i soaked overnight and cooked longer and in more liquid, so that it

no longer bore any resemblance to wild rice.

ah, well....
