Has anyone ever had brown arborio rice?

Is it any good?

There's a big sack on offer and I'm wondering whether or not to get it.

  • I've got a bag of it in the cupboard (brandname Orsine). My experience is that you have to cook for an awfully long time, and it never really softens in the way that you expect risotto rice to.

    I'd better by a small pack and try it first.
