Nishiki Premium 7 Grains Mix, 2 Pound

I just ordered this but I've bought it in stores before and some of the comments have me shaking my head. This is intended to be ADDED to white rice, there is even a ratio of how much to use right on the front of the bag! Of course it's going to be expensive if you're only cooking the grains... and probably not all that tasty either but you do you. You're using about four to five times too much of it... at the end of the day it's intended to be mixed with medium grain rice and cooked properly (rinsed until clear and I preferably in the rice cooker) and it's ridiculous to blame the product because you decided to do something totally different. Made properly, it's healthy, tasty, and great for stretching your rice further. The price is comparable to store price (if you can find it in the store)

This was my first time buying this mix and it was well worth the price. You can taste the higher quality in the perfect chewiness and the flavor of the grains overall. I chose the Nishiki grain mix because it was the only brand I could find that didn’t have a grain that contained gluten, since I’m intolerant. And I’m glad it was Nishiki because I already knew they consistently deliver high quality rice, at least for what you can get in the US. I used this to make japgokbap in my instant pot, and with it added Sekka Japanese rice (3 parts rice to 1 part of the Nishiki mix) along with soaked adzuki beans, black beans, and black eyed peas. I cooked it at high pressure for 20 minutes. It came out perfect, although now, I (finally!) invested in a rice cooker that has the capability to cook mixed rice, so hopefully I can get an even better result. This will for sure be my go to for mixed grains from now on.

I mixed the Nishiki 1:3 with Basmati rice and cooked in standard rice cooker. It turned everything purple. (It doesn’t look as vibrant, in the pic, as it actually is). We actually love the purple color! The Nishiki added great texture and flavor. Will definitely buy again.

Very yummy, mixes will with white rice and turns it a cool purple color. No issues with packaging or quality with repeat purchases.

A bit expensive for what you're getting but it trates good
