Hi Dreamlily,

The simple answer is that there is no taste difference between paddy rice that you husk yourself and organic rice grown in the same fields that have been husked by the farmer in their mills, and either bought by the consumer prepackaged or dispensed in bulk bins at the store.

The reasons that people purchase unnhusked paddy rice varies between those who believe that unhusked paddy rice attracts and harbors less moths, and those who believe that unhusked paddy rice has more life energy contained in it and that one might get more ki energy from rice that has been husked recently than rice that was husked at least a week ago.

Do you cook macrobiotic and if so have you noticed any change in your life's energy since the time that you started and now?

Thank you, very much.
