Erewhon: Crispy Brown Rice Cereal

[glow=red,2,300]THIS IS NOT HFI-SAFE>>>>>>>>>[/glow]
I just had a bowl. I was so happy to be eating Rice Crispy-like cereal, but the taste wasn't as fabulous as I was remembering.

Ingredients are: organic brown rice, organic barley malt, sea salt.

It had a sweet taste, so I'm not sure how how safe it is yet. I'll report back later. I had a really big bowl, so I should know soon.

I found it in the gluten-free section of the cereal aisle.

The name again is Erewhon Crispy Brown Rice. Website is www.usmillsllc.com

How did you make out with this?
Do you always eat brown rice?
I used to get the cheddar flavor of Quaker mini rice cake snack things. It used to say "ground rice". Now it says "ground brown rice" so I stopped getting it for her. That old list said just white rice, not brown, so that is what I always went by.

If you do ok with the brown rice, I MAY give it a try for Regina. (After stewing on it forever first. lol)

I do okay with brown rice in general. I eat it because it's more filling than white rice and I'm not hungry 15 minutes later.

My vote is still out on the Erewhon crispy brown rice. I was feeling a little off that day. I'm not entirely sure what caused the off-ness. I wasn't nauseated or anything, so I'm not sure. I'm waiting until I feel better again to give it one more try. I was really excited about the prospect of having rice crispy treats once again (not that I ever ate them as a kid).

Ugh, bad reaction again. I rescind my initial comment that this might be safe. Back to Shredded Wheat for me!.

There is also a gluten-free version that uses brown rice syrup instead of the barley malt syrup. Perhaps that might work out for you? We have tried it, with bad results, but we don't do well with brown rice.

Sorry it made you sick. Bummer!
