I made a bag of wild rice and white basmati rice in my steamer last week. The kids really liked it, whereas I know they don't want to eat brown rice (it's possible that a fuzzy logic steamer will make it delicious for even my uber picky kids, but until I actually decide on one, buy it, and get them to try it, I'll never know). There's a huge chance that they'll refuse to even taste it.
Anyway, I read someplace that wild rice has 30 times the antioxidants (of what, I forget .... ). I was thinking to maybe stick with eating that, althought I know no one eats straight wild rice, right? They all mix it with another variety, don't they ? (I googled this but couldn't figure out the proporations).
So - I appeal to you, the expert cooks - what ratio of wild to white do you use, or do you buy the little already mixed bags like I do ?
If I stick with the bags, I can use my usual steamer.
What do you all think ? And thanks !!! (MY husband wants this settled; he's DREAMING about a rice steamer since I discuss it so much with him !!!!
