well.... don't know if this has been posted....
I've been eating the arborio for yrs and noticed something... 1/2 cup of this rice has 36 carbs..... while plain rice has that much for only 1/4 cup!!! now am i going crazy? how could this be? I read the facts several times...
arborio dry 1/2 cup 36 carbs
plain rice dry 1/4 cup 36 carbs
well as long as this is legit, something you guys might want to try, it tastes way better too
