Description

Organic Long Grain Brown Rice is a great cupboard staple.

Organic Long Grain Brown Rice is a simple brown rice variety perfect for a wide range of dishes. Unlike white rice, brown rice contains the outer hull of the grain. This germ/bran layer contains added nutrition and fibre. The outer layer gives brown rice a slightly longer cooking time than white rice and it has more bite once cooked.  This dense chewy texture makes it a nourishing addition to any rice recipe and it works well in rice salads, keeping its shape and flavour.

If you prefer white varieties try our organic white basmati rice.  We also stock a range of speciality rices such as organic wild rice, organic black rice, organic brown basmati rice, organic brown basmati rice and organic red rice.

Ingredients: Organic Long Grain Brown Rice

Origin: Italy / Pakistan /  India

Allergen Information: Packed on premises that handle gluten, tree nuts, sesame, soya, peanuts, celery and mustard

Family Tip:

  1. We have always loved brown rice and serve it with vegetable chilli or organic chicken curry.
  2. We usually make an extra couple of portions for a rice salad the next day, but remember not to keep rice for more than 2 days.
  3. We have also discovered that it makes a great fragrant rice pudding – with organic nutmeg, cinnamon and coconut sugar!
