I’m first gen south East Asian and grew up thinking everyone ate jasmine rice. The first time I had brown rice I thought people were playing a prank on me 😭😭
Of all the on-camera staff that we've seen, I think Amiel is kind of perfect for this. All of the matter of fact information and everything, I liked it. Enjoyed the tone of the video, the way it was shot. You folks at BA are /awesome/.
I love this channel, each person on staff has their own style they way they narrate and film and content and even level of seriousness, and I don't think I even have a favorite series because they're all really great!
Please can we have another one of these of SALT?! Really missing the difference between the kinds! Pllllllleeeaaaaasssssseee🥺 totally loving this series! 🥰
Taste wise (with the exception of smoked salts) there are veeeeery few differences between salts (I doubt even Chris could tell). The differences come in 1) Visual presentation 2) Micronutrients from the various impurities that give them their appearance 3) Crystal shape, which impacts salinity/volume (1 tsp of table salt is much saltier than 1 tsp of kosher) and mouth feel if used to finish a dish with. After saying all of that, I still want to see an episode on salt :)
@@gr81disp True. Most of the difference is in the microscopic texture/surface area, not the taste. Iodized salt under a microscope looks cubed, no rough surface. Kosher salt is rough and jagged because it is literally designed to cling to meat and draw out moisture (koshering = draw out blood, usually for religious reasons). Fleur de sel has a really light and delicate crunch that makes it perfect as a finishing salt to sprinkle on pretty much anything. Anything generically labelled "sea salt" is a mixed bag because there is no regulation for what constitutes sea salt; it can come from the ocean or a lake or a marsh. And Himalayan pink salt is a marketing fad/scam (yes, it has "minerals" but they are so minuscule, you'd have to consume obscene amounts of salt every day for it to be significant).
There's really not that much of a difference between salt types, it's mostly marketing. A better one IMO would be maize/corn: Here in the US we are only used to seeing a like 2-3 types, but there's tons in Latin America due to breeding done by Pre-hispanic civilizations like the Aztec which have a variety of different flavors, shapes, and colors.
there's one thing you forgot to include. how the rice are cooked. each variety needs different amounts of rice to get the ideal texture. like brown rice and that black rice need almost twice the amount of water that's needed to cook white rice. so the asian way of measuring the water to cook the rice with a knuckle doesn't cut it.
Finally! Amiel gets his own series too!! So now the list is: Claire - Gourmet Makes Brad - It's Alive Chris - Reverse Engineering Molly - Adventure/ Tries stuff that she has never done before Alex - Eats it all Carla - Back to back chef Amiel - Types of food under a microscope Now let's get Gaby on the list next!
All I can think of how awkward it must be for Amiel to stand there waving his arms around, pretending he's talking, when he's doing the voice over at a different time and location. Great video though, I didn't even know black rice existed
the only non-racist/ignorant explanation i can come up with is because the dish they used to show off the rice is thai, they highlighted thailand? but yeah its...... very badly communicated
@Yoshi Does Stuff saying that americans are idiots when it comes to other countries is not racist.. showing off one country in all of southeast asia can be depicted as racist
How many navy blue suits does he own exactly?? I thought it was just my imagination but I checked every video and he always blue pants and a jacket on...kinda cool.
And if their basmati is shorter than jasmine, they're getting the crappiest quality possible. Also, the one they have there doesn't look aged much. By the time it's been aged for a year, the colour changes at the tips, so that you have a slight browning, because it's aged on the paddy, not in the bag.
My thoughts exactly! Interesting that they went with Matta instead of something like Sona Masoori which is a more prevalent short-grain rice in India. So proud!
Well, they sorta did, "almost every way to cook a potato" they didn't go into different potatoes but they did show us how to cook a potato nearly every way
Thank you for making this video! I grew up in a Cantonese family and ate Jasmine rice almost everyday growing up. The unique and delicate fragrance is so delicious, especially with the equally delicate flavors in Cantonese cuisine that is very focused on umami. Bursts of gentle savoriness accompanied by the floral and woodsy fragrance of Jasmine rice, simply divine.
my family is cantonese too, my mom likes the elephant thai brand..since we have a big family, jasmine rice is expensive so we bought large 50lb bags of regular long grain rice from costco..sometimes we mix them both
I am from NorthEastern India (the buffer region between India and China) and I grew up eating jasmine rice too, at least the variety found here. We used to eat jasmine rice with a peppery- roasted duck curry during winters. Reminds me so much of my village.
recoil53 homebrew shops usually stock them, they come in 1 pound bags, or bigger. They don’t add any color or sugar to the beer, just a handy tool when brewing wheat, rye, or cereal (flaked barley, oats, rice) heavy beers.
@@CaitlintheCasual I would suggest slowly opening for your sparge (so it doesn't get stuck), but if rice hulls work, thanks for the advice! I've always seem them but never used them. And, because of this video: if you're ever planning on making rice wine, all you need is amylase enzyme and some calrose rice
@@kylesteele9403Thanks for the sparge suggestion! I use a 10 gallon igloo cooler as a mash tun, so it's always kinda hard to control my sparge. I have actually gone back to using a nylon straining bag in conjunction with my cooler. I always use amylase enzyme for my grains. I get great starting gravities with it!
Au contraire: Millet, certified oats, maize, sorghum, and, teff. Not to mention pseudo grains like amaranth, quinoa, buckwheat, etc. We've got plenty of options besides wheat, barley, rye, and spelt. Who the heck eats spelt, anyway?
@@isabellamorris7902 (1) Yes, the oats need to be certified - otherwise they can be cross contaminated with wheat that had been grown on the same land. (2) *LOTS* of people eat maize. Maize is simply what most of the world calls the grain we call "corn". Whether we're talking sweet corn, pop corn, polenta/grits, corn bread, corn flakes, corn tortillas, or fried mush: it's all maize.
Amylose and amylopectin ate two types of starch. The glucose molecules in the amylose is bound together by 1-4 alpha bonds where as amylopectin has 1-6 beta bonds
I can hear my grandfather, who was a farmer when he was still alive, screaming because of the grains of rice thrown and wasted. Growing up my parents made sure we don't waste rice coz its very difficult to grow.
Please include scale bars for the microscope images and include post cooked images! Also, make sure Claire get access to this for her "Gourmet Makes" series!
I live about 40 min away from where BOMBA is made! So happy it was included :) Also, YOU ARE KILLING ME with that Paella. Don't ever put chorizo in a paella, I don't care if you have seen it a thousand times, DON'T DO IT. Why would you put an ingredient that's basically going to cancel out every other ingredient you are putting? It doesn't make sense! Just eat it as an appetizer, and then eat the paella. The olives are also bothering me btw, but I mean, I'm tired of trying to explain americans how paella is made.
@@camil6294 Yes, I had to edit the comment.. Idk what is wrong with these people.. How do you know about Bomba or 'socarrat' but you are fine putting chorizo and olives in a paella?
i wish we could have seen Amiel reacting to the rice more , not so much narrating i know it would probably be a longer video but Amiel is one of my favorite people on BA and we rarely see him one on one Good video tho :)
This was so cool! It made me want to go out and buy some of these rices, so I did! Had wild rice as a side with my steak for dinner and it was so so good! I really hope Amiel makes more videos like this - i love seeing a raw ingredient being dissected and inspected for its unique qualities :)
Hello, I am from Spain and I have to say that the paella hurts a lot, I mean that we do not add the sausage paella, shrimp and olives, not together, and for example of these three ingredients we only add the shrimp (also more ingredients that weren´t there) and if anyone of you goes to Valencia you will see it (and try it too) I promise, I'm not crazy, also something that I really like is the "socarrat" part, I love it and sometimes it's hard to find in restaurants (except, as I said before if you're going to Valencia). Thank you, I´m sorry if my english sounds rude it wasn´t my intention, I love your channel and I just want you to know that detail, saludos!
As an Asian, I can never understand why would anyone eat rice with a fork? There's no way you'll eat Basmathi rice with a fork because it's very low in starch so they can't clump together. We usually eat rice with a spoon so that we're not afraid of it falling off the utensil. And we also eat all kinds of rice with our hands, not only glutinous rice.
@@marg200039 Yeah we do eat rice with chopsticks as well! I meant to say we use a spoon over using a fork. In most settings we actually dine with a fork and spoon together, but the fork is to push the rice onto the spoon. But yeah come to think of it, eating with chopsticks is definitely the harder of the two.
@@marg200039 lol no Koreans also eat with a spoon. But for others, and there's no chopsticks available, guess what they go for? It's not a freaking fork. Just look at the Japanese eating curry rice or omurice.
Gonna be real nerdy here: This is not a microscope, but a binocular magnifier. With a microscope, the light goes trough the sample from under the optics (usually). With a binocular, you look at the sample with the light reflecting on the surface of the sample. Also, on a binocular, the smaple is like 2x to 10x biggers, and with a microscope, its like 10x to 1000x.
"Ya know, if I didn't know this was rice, I would almost think I was looking at an oat!" - favorite comment of entire video. Not sure why it made me laugh so hard.
Anyone else a little weirded out by Amiel in a lab setting (or set) instead of the test kitchen? BTW, Loved the content. When are we getting Amiel cooking in the test kitchen?
It was such a missed opportunity not showing the different rice under the microscope after they're steamed/cooked. If you ever decide to make this into a series, it would be great to see kind of side by side the difference between the two.
This was so interesting and I want to try making congee right now. I grew up with family who ONLY find basmati rice to be acceptable cooked pilaf style with curry and everything else is viewed with suspicion. This introduced me to so many rice dishes I'd never heard of
It's too rare that indigenous "north american" cuisine is discussed and featured. I'm so glad the Ojibwa dish was included and would love to see more featured!
I need a ringtone of Amiel saying “I’m a MESSY prince!”
I laughed so hard at this part, too!
He's so cute.
I got John Oliver vibes.
6:15 when the messy prince pulls his fork out of his coat pocket, and again at 9:15! lol

Jasmine is the one rice I cannot eat, it's just too flora tasting, as oppose to my favorite rice baslmati which is flora, but taste nutty and fluffy.

franzb69 lo l i asked my dad how much water to cook rice ... he showed me on his finger 😂😂
You measure with the different parts of the finger, not just the knuckle.
You could pour broth on it while stirring and when it looks like its all be absorbed into the rice you pour some more broth. Risotto style.

Claire - Gourmet Makes
Brad - It's Alive
Chris - Reverse Engineering

Now let's get Gaby on the list next!

They need to get Andy on the list!
Where is “Its Dead” BA????
He’s done several beginnings of series.
Andy out there continuing to lose his grip on reality 😂
I need ba to give Amiel his own fashion series: hauls, jewelery collection, outfits of the week, etc.
Amiel -- This is an excellent video. Informative, well edited, and, most importantly, leaves me hungry. More of this, please.
All I can think of how awkward it must be for Amiel to stand there waving his arms around, pretending he's talking, when he's doing the voice over at a different time and location. Great video though, I didn't even know black rice existed
He's probably actually talking then writing a script based on what he said during filming and then recording that
"This stuff is expensive and I'm really excited to take a look at it." Black rice scattered all over the table like dirt.
It's more expensive than white or brown rice, but it's not *that* pricey.

or chicken biyani
Amiel i love ya and this video is very informative and all but dID YOU JUST TAKE BASMATI RICE AND *NOT* MAKE BIRYANI WITH IT????
The captions say "I'm a meal stanek"
I love this but....
I HATE how the hand gestures don’t match up to what is being said.
That’s usually because he’s talking during the actual recording but as he’s doing a voice over - it doesn’t match completely
“Thats ice not rice” oh Amiel, you silly goose🙄😂
As a Minnesotan that lives in northern Minnesota I really appreciated seeing wild rice in this video!
I need more microscopes and Amiel and food. Thank you, Bon Appétit.
I expect a full 10 seasons
Gonna be real nerdy here:
This is not a microscope, but a binocular magnifier.
With a microscope, the light goes trough the sample from under the optics (usually). With a binocular, you look at the sample with the light reflecting on the surface of the sample. Also, on a binocular, the smaple is like 2x to 10x biggers, and with a microscope, its like 10x to 1000x.
"Ya know, if I didn't know this was rice, I would almost think I was looking at an oat!" - favorite comment of entire video. Not sure why it made me laugh so hard.
HIS VOICE! And well done the voiceover!
I love Amiel, he's so clever, and that pocket fork and classy watch, love it!
The rice episodes of the BA podcast are the best ⭐️ I love that rice now gets a starring moment on UA-cam.
That wild rice, I don't know why, makes me just wanna eat plain rice rn these type of videos that amiel does always makes me hungry
WHERE IS RICE 5.0!?
( I kid, but Bon App Foodcast Rice-scapades are everything)
There's chorizo in that paella...
*screams in spanish*
And olives I'm screaming in spanish
Cooking is a creative art I suppose
@@Timeward76 that's an offense
Anyone else a little weirded out by Amiel in a lab setting (or set) instead of the test kitchen?
BTW, Loved the content. When are we getting Amiel cooking in the test kitchen?
It was such a missed opportunity not showing the different rice under the microscope after they're steamed/cooked. If you ever decide to make this into a series, it would be great to see kind of side by side the difference between the two.
Amiel saying LONG BOI is my sexual orientation
This is incredible. Great production quality and fascinating topic. Nice one BA
omg Ojibway represent! That's my favourite way to eat wild rice!
something about how he said 'i'm a messy prince' had very strong griffin mcelroy vibes.
No one:
Amiel: *eats rice with a fork*
Answering the age old question, "What if Binging with Babish was hosted by Jon Lovitz?"
I have a crush on Amiel, but so does everybody, I gather
How did BA know I needed a whole video on rice when I didn’t even know myself?
MORE AMIEL CONTENT PLEASE
Oh my god that hippie grain bowl looks SOOO good
I can't get over how much rice was spilled here, and I don't even have OCD.
I assume they had a clean cloth or something under the table to catch the rice
Yay, I’m glad you mentioned นํ้าพริกอ่อง (Nak Prik Ong)
It’s basically hot sauce for Thais
"Rice. This is... fun stuff" - A.Stanek, 2019
This was so interesting and I want to try making congee right now. I grew up with family who ONLY find basmati rice to be acceptable cooked pilaf style with curry and everything else is viewed with suspicion. This introduced me to so many rice dishes I'd never heard of
nobody:
not one person:
not a soul:
Amiel: *l o n g b o i*
never really needed to see a grain of rice under a microscope but..... this is nice.
as an asian i'm still wondering why western folks use fork to eat something that's not noodle shaped
Leave me and my forks alone
It's too rare that indigenous "north american" cuisine is discussed and featured. I'm so glad the Ojibwa dish was included and would love to see more featured!
