If you are a diabetic, and you must have rice on the table, then eat red
rice instead of long grain white rice.

However, if you don't know how to cook your red rice, or you are not used to
eating red rice you may not like them. The texture of cooked red rice is not
as soft as cooked long grain or white rice imported in this country from
Thailand. But if they are cooked right, you will find them very palatable.

Red rice is also imported from Thailand. The current retail price of Red
rice at Oriental stores is still quite high compared to brown or white rice.

I know a friend who must eat rice. She is a diabetic for over 40 years.
Anytime she eats rice for lunch or dinner she must get herself extra insulin
shots or otherwise she feels sick or dizzy. It was not uncommon for her
blood sugar to rise dramatically to 350 or 400 mg/dl after dinner. But now
she says she feels normal when she eats red rice for lunch and dinner. Her
blood sugar rarely shot up over 140 mg/dl. Remember even when you eat red
rice you must watch what you eat.

How do you cook them? First soak them overnight with water. The following
day cook the rice in a rice cooker adding a little more water to your rice
cooker than you normally would when you are cooking regular white rice.

Enjoy your red rice.

Does anyone know what component of statins causes the bad muscle pain? Until
I know more, I am reluctant to eat red yeast rice because I have had an
immediate bad reaction to several statins. The side effect for me is very
bad muscle pain and weakness on the first (and in my case only) day of
treatment with each statin I tried.

Red yeast rice? I am not aware there is red yeast rice in red rice. My
understanding is that red yeast rice is yeast (Monascus purpureum) grown on
rice. Whether there is or there is not red yeast on red rice (also known as
cargo rice) I don't know. If there is any, they should become very diluted
if you soak the "cargo rice" in water overnight, should it not? I myself
have recently started eating red rice and I like it. Incidentally, the wife
of my neighbour told me that her husband can eat only red rice, because he
has intolerance problem to white rice.


But yes, stay away from eating aything if you have had a bad reaction to it.

In Indonesia you can buy red rice grown naturally. The color of the rice is
already red when they are harvested from the field.
