Genesis Posted July 17, 2008 Hey swinger, just some info. I had a lot of trouble getting organic brown rice... Let alone brown rice flour. After a great while searching dusty Asian grocery stores and looking under my couch (Pointless this may sound but some amazing thing have been found there) I found a neat online store that ships flour right to your door. BROWN RICE FLOUR - 700g Ingredients: Certified Organic Stoneground Brown Rice. $6.95 And they accept money orders! No credit card needed! Sadly no Direct Deposit either. Hope I helped some one out, fuck knows I needed this a while ago. Right... HERE Enjoy, Gen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Undergrounder Posted July 17, 2008 Good info Genesis, I found some just in the health food aisle of Coles. I've also seen it in dedicated Health Food Stores also. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Genesis Posted July 17, 2008 Ahh if only we could all be so lucky. I'm in the country, sort of spending a day tripping around Melbourne isn't an option for me. If you don't mind me asking, how much do you pay for your flour? Gen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Undergrounder Posted July 17, 2008 I cant remember to be honest, small packet about 500g, made by a common health food label... brown and yellow packet. Probably similar price. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hyphal Posted July 18, 2008 If you own a coffee grinder simply grind your own from store bought brown rice. Coffee grinders are cheap as chips, starting at around $15 for the type you find in the coffee isle in Coles. If you want to spend up to $50 you can get an amazing grinder that will last you years. It has been suggested that freshly ground brown rice is superior, but if that's true I'm sure the difference is only minimal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think I said that already, I don't recall. ANYWAYS I have read numerous articles that stress that one only uses organic brown rice. I am to paranoid (Black Sabbath, WOOO!) that the rice will be filled with anti-fungus nasties. Any one had bad experiences with non-organic rice? Cheers again fellas, Gen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ThunderIdeal Posted July 24, 2008 the grinder is tedious, especially if you tried achieving flour-like consistency. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hyphal Posted July 24, 2008 Depends how much you are using! Brown rice, in a coffee grinder, should only take about a couple of minutes to grind enough to make up a batch of jars... Unless of course your doing a LOT of jars.... Grains and pressure cookers are the way forward then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ThunderIdeal Posted July 26, 2008 i had a different experience just one batch, took a while (not that you'd complain hey) and i compromised on the consistency. maybe if you get the right consistency, you can use less, and save time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deXtrous Posted July 28, 2008 I found BRF in coles... Quite common Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Genesis Posted August 4, 2008 So has any one had problems with using non-organic rice? Every one seems to think there are fungicides on every thing. Gen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coin Posted August 5, 2008 (edited) i always found that the slightly coarse texture of grinding whole brown rice was no problems when using a pressure cooker and hydrated correctly (i used a blender to do larger quantities, rather than a coffee/spice grinder...make sure the blender is glass or high-grade/strong plastic...some are plastic and won't like being smashed around with whole grains- will crack) i also found no problem using brown rice flour or whole grain that wasn't certified as organic Edited August 5, 2008 by coin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gromit Posted August 21, 2008 you get your brf yet gen? i'm still waiting over a month later... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Genesis Posted August 23, 2008 Yer man, got it. I ordered the day I posted this thread and I got it within mb 2 weeks. Took a little while for them to respond, then I fucked around with a mail order cheque thing. I was pretty happy with them. Sorry to hear its been a month, I would order from these guys again. All I can suggest is some kind of fire bomb to their HQ. It may not help your order but it would send a message of sorts Gen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
watertrade Posted August 23, 2008 I personally don't think you need worry about Organic flour. any thoughts? although it wold be nice to have an all organic product. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

B. Loco Posted November 4, 2008 inner city movers and shakers can get organic brown rice flour from the macro wholefoods shop on king street, newtown, up near the marlborough hotel - on the other side of the road. not cheap though its about eight $ a kilogram Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
