Field Day Organic Brown Rice
What it is
This is whole grain brown rice, meaning it retains its bran and germ. This makes it a good source of complex carbohydrates and gives it a slightly chewier texture and nuttier flavor compared to white rice. It is a versatile pantry staple that cooks up fluffy and satisfying. The grains are whole and unbroken, indicating careful processing.
How people cook with it
Brown rice is a foundational ingredient for many meals. It serves as a hearty base for a variety of dishes, from simple side dishes to elaborate main courses.

To prepare, rinse the brown rice under cool water. Combine one part rice with two parts water or broth in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 40-45 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender. Let it stand, covered, for 5-10 minutes before fluffing with a fork. This cooking method ensures the grains are fully hydrated and cooked through, resulting in a pleasant texture.
How it differs from similar foods
Its cooking time is also longer due to the intact outer layers of the grain, which contribute to its wholesome character.

How to keep the rest
Store any unused cooked brown rice in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. For uncooked rice, keep it in a cool, dry place in its original packaging or a sealed container to maintain freshness and prevent moisture absorption.
