Excellent quality short grain brown rice at great value. How do I know? The first wash of rice was clean, not cloudy. No bugs and no foreign materials. From buying other brands, I have been very disappointed to find bugs. Cook each cup with one and a quarter cup of water maybe a little more if you like your rice tender. I cook 2 cups, even though that will last me for a while because I find that cooking 2 cups produces a more thoroughly cooked rice at the end. I can eat with anything meat, fish, vegetables, tofu, and an egg. Today I enjoyed with mackerel, mushrooms, and bok choy.!
