I don't eat polished white rice at all. Just brown, red or black rices.

And yes, I can taste the difference even tho' I always cook rice in
stock. :-)

IMHO, white rice tastes like library paste.

Natural rices, not stripped of their nutritional value, have FAR more
flavor than white of any variety!

YMMV, as always...
