Guest guest Posted December 25, 2004 Report Share Posted December 25, 2004 Here's an interesting e-mail I got (you can pay over a hundred bucks for the same thing at the health food store) I'm thinking of getting some if anyone knows a goood sourse . Stabilized Rice Bran I called the number on the bag of " Satan Finish " stabilized rice bran for horse feed. With artful questioning, I got them to assure me that there was nothing in it detrimental for human use whatsoever, and that moreover, It all came out of the same hopper whether being used by the boxcar for cereal manufacture, by POST and Kellogg, etc, or being sold to bakeries and health food stores, or indeed to supplement concerns to be sold as a high priced food supplement, or as a nutritional performance booster and hair improvement for horses. I then put some water on to boil, and added about one part rice bran to four parts water. After it boiled a few moments, I covered it and shut the heat off. After 5-10 minutes I found it had settled a bit but was easily stirred into a somewhat milk like consistency. Tasted really strong of the brown rice taste, which I love, but therefore not bland like milk. When added to my favorite cereal which is a mixture of lightly steamed oatmeal and rolled barley, along with a little dark brown sugar, the flavor was robust but delicious and the texture just as it would have been with milk over the cereal. I have had unusual energy since that meal, which backs up what you have to say about stabilized rice bran being good for my diabetes, and neuropathy. Looks like I will be using a lot less milk since using milk over cereal is my main milk consumption. I had already visited with them at the number on the " Satin Finish " bag, (800) 742-3272. They said they had a distribution system in Canada, " Hi Pride, ltd " I believe, but I have already misplaced their 888 number. They have now left for a long weekend, but you can call and get the number from them Monday. I am sure that, just as in the US, stabilized rice bran will be sold through feed stores, country and western stores, farm supply stores, etc., as a supplement to make your horse both beautiful, AND A WINNER. Hmm, wonder what uses it could have in gardening? Now, you can fill me in as to what form and how you are using it. I will find many more dietary ways to use it, cooking, etc. For example, the brown rice flavor will go really well with peanut butter, and other nut butters. So, I am stopping on the way home to get some old fashioned peanut butter to stir it into. I filled a one gallon jar with the stabilized rice bran, and it appeared that there were probably ten more gallons in the forty pound bag I bought for $25. It appears this will be a very cost effective addition to my diet. Plz advise me of anything else I need to know.
