    Uncle Ben’s Whole Grain White Rice Review (& Giveaway Ends 11/19)

    By 228 Comments

    ABOUT:

    Uncle Ben’s has just come out with the first and only whole grain rice that looks and tastes like white rice!  The new Whole Grain White Rice is a great way to sneak healthy foods into kids’ meals since it looks and tastes like white rice, but has the benefits of whole grains.  It comes in six varieties: Long Grain, Chicken, Broccoli Cheddar, Sweet Tomato, Garden Vegetable and Taco Style.

    To help home cooks get the most of their meals, UNCLE BEN’S is partnering with “The Sneaky Chef,”  Missy Chase Lapine, New York Times bestselling author of “The Sneaky Chef: Simple Strategies for Hiding Healthy Foods in Kids’ Favorite Meals.” Lapine has developed tips and recipes using UNCLE BEN’S new Whole Grain White Rice to help struggling moms (and dads) get their kids to actually eat (and enjoy!) nutrition-rich foods.

    Visit UncleBensGivesBack.com to download some of Missy’s original recipes using Uncle Ben’s Whole Grain White Rice and other Sneaky Chef tips for Free!  For every booklet that is downloaded, Uncle Ben’s will donate $1 to Feeding America, the nation’s leading domestic hunger-relief charity.

    MY THOUGHTS:

    I grew up with Uncle Ben’s rice and although I do occasionally get other brands, I always come back to Uncle Ben’s.  The new Whole Grain varieties are awesome though and have definitely made me more loyal!  My sons are terrible eaters at mealtime and anyway I can sneak in nutrients is a big challenge.  I have tried brown rice before and they look at it like it is foreign or something.  With the new varieties I can feed my family healthy sides or just just slip the rice into entrees.  Who knew you could make Sloppy Joes with rice?  And the Pizza Rice balls sound like they would be a hit and I could even have my sons help with making them!

    The only flaw with Uncle Ben’s Whole Grain Rice is that it does take a little longer to cook than quickie microwave rice brands, but the quality is worth it!  The whole process from cooking to letting it sit and absorb the rest of the water, takes about fifteen minutes.  You also have to cook them on the stove, no microwave directions, but it is really easy to make (just add water to the Whole Grain White Rice.)  Oh and the Whole Grain White Rice has no preservatives, no MSG, and is vegetarian.  My favorite flavor though is the Whole Grain White Rice in Creamy Chicken.  Overall thought I love the concept of Whole Grain White Rice, especially for picky eaters who think brown rice looks funny!

      Rice is a favorite at my house…and Uncle Bens is the special rice we get once in awhile. It is our favorite…but only as a treat…because it is more expensive than the generic brands.

      I like to just make rice in chicken or beef broth and then throw in a little chopped chicken or ground beef.

      I either like it plain with a little butter, or cold with a lemony vingarette and lots of fresh veggies and herbs 🙂 YUM

      We like to eat rice as a side dishes. I make it often with chicken. My husband’s favorite is white rice topped with pork chops and tomato sauce. Thanks!

      My family eats rice with just butter, in tacos/burritos, with
      entrees spooned over it, in soups… Outside of rice pudding, we pretty much do everything possible with rice.

      I like to use whole grain rice and mix it in with veggies and sauteed shrimp with a little coconut milk sauce. Really good.

      What a generous giveaway! I love to eat rice with chicken cut up and some low sodium black beans! My fiance and I are on a budget and cook with rice a lot. Winning this would help us out financially!
