Why rice?

[monty_GTV]

i buy locally grown rice.
i support the filipino farmer.

salamat sa suporta sa aming magsasaka doc[emoji106]

tasted other rice sa ilang mga pinagtrabahuan kong lugar. acquired taste siguro pero mas gusto ko pa rin yung mabango, sticky variety ng rice natin. basmati at mga parboiled rice matabang sa akin. vietnam fragrant rice ok kapag bagong luto, jasmine ng thai ok, japon at korean sticky rice ok din for me.

i like sticky rice, but the lady of the house dis-agrees with my acquired taste.
so out ang dinorado at in ang sinandomeng.

[_Qwerty_]

sobra naman mahal.. halos 80 pesos per kilo.. should be.. rice of the 'rich' Filipinos..

[kagalingan]

doc, majority ng rice ko from nueva ecija, Long grain ako.

yan pinost ni qwerty na "dalisay rice" eh nakabili ako sa puregold. Pwede na maayos na bigas puting-puti. Hindi ko lang gusto yung packaging kasi hindi na nasasarado ulit.. Jan talaga mahina noypi sa presentation.

Gusto ko lang malaman sino pinakamasarap na basmati. Kaya bilib ako sa indian may yabang pag sa pagkain.

i have a rice dispenser.
it works fine for me.

i don't favor reseal-able packaging. i tend to forget, that i had already opened that pack lying beside the ref, two years ago

Naka tyempo ako ng buy 1 take 1 Ni Mrs Lam dinorado sa shopwise, 30/kg net na, sana maulit

80 petot per kilo[emoji50] anong kaya meron sa bigas na yan, packaging?[emoji848] buti pa yan nakakabenta ng ganyan. eh sa probins nung harvest halos hingiin na nila palay at a lowest 9 petot per kg. no doubt karamihan bibili na lang ng imports na mas hamak na mura.

agree with you. high carb diet ang pinoy, unlimited kanin. saka ko lang naintindihan mga yan ng pinasok ko ang ketogenic diet. i lost a lot of weight just by getting rid of the sugar and my beloved rice.

but rice is life sustaining sa kagaya ko, its a source of income. so tuloy pa rin pag cultivate ng rice. its a staple food, magrebolusyon ang pinoy kapag binawalan mo kumain ng rice.

Another comment is yung preference on how its cooked.

At our place, we like it fluffy and dry na medyo buhaghag konti, while the older generation in our family prefer it really sticky (more water used in cooking).

Try serving dry and fluffy rice to them and you’ll get scolded: “Ano ba naman kayo magsaing... parang buhangin naman itong kanin… “

The Japanese eat as much rice as we do, but they have some of the longest lifespans of people on the planet... and the highest suicide rates din nga lang...

yup, sa amin din ganyan[emoji6] nadadale ang tagaluto ng kanin kapag hindi tama ang consistency[emoji16] saka depende rin kasi sa variety ng rice.

Koreans too. Rice and noodles. Pero bihira mataba. Climate might have something to do with it. Must be burning a lot of calories just to maintain body temp in those areas.

Vs rice kamote is better daw. Still raises sugar but gradually compared to rice.

I think it also has to do with some of the viands we take.

Maaalat kasi inuulam natin kaya grabe water retention natin sa katawan.

yeah pampabusog kasi ang kanin

it's not a real meal when there's no rice

ang pancit, spaghetti, tinapay merienda lang

Tama ka dyan bro. Yung meat na seasoned/marinated na igagawa pa ng sawsawan na loaded with salt. Toyomansi, patis, gravy na ginagawang sabaw (saw this in KFC), ketchup, sweet & sour sauce, etc. Kahit yung mga dishes na masabaw or masarsa sobrang alat din.

I know people na inuulam sa kann ang pancit and spaghetti

"handling fees."

ay oo

carb overload

Japan's high life expectancy i think has a lot to do with high standard of living

aside from healthy diet (fresh food, veggies, fish)

malinis sila... clean healthy habits

Japanese gov't investment in health education decades ago paid off

they created a health & hygiene-conscious culture

--

high suicide rate naman i think it's coz wala sila judeo-christian background na magpipigil sa kanila (that if you kill yourself you're going to hell)

i'm more concern sa sugar now kesa alat. nung inalis ko ang asukal sa pagkain ko, marami ako nabawas na timbang which is naipon na tubig lang.

oo bro. tinatawanan ako sa bahay last vacay ko as in hindi ako nagkanin[emoji4] paano daw ako mabubusog?[emoji85] i substituded the rice with nilagang repolyo, mahal ang cauliflower at broccoli eh[emoji16]

"handling fees."

grabe naman na handling fee yan doc[emoji85] kaya hindi masisi ang publiko bumili ng mas murang imported na bigas kung ganyan kamahal ang local produce.

galit kaming magsasaka sa patuloy na pag angkat ng bigas pero kung ganyan naman na halos triple presyo sa isinilid lang sa makulay at "dalisay"na lalagyan, hindi patas. maybe, pa imprinta na rin ako ng makulay na sako o supot then i name it to "super rice" so its sounds like a healthy superfood[emoji848] maybe i can sell my own produce at 5x the price from the bukid.
