What it is
This is a package of enriched long-grain white rice. The grains are processed to remove the bran and germ, then enriched with added nutrients. It is a common pantry staple for many households. The long grains tend to remain separate and fluffy when cooked, making them versatile for various dishes.

To prepare, typically measure the desired amount of rice and rinse it under cold water to remove excess starch. Combine the rinsed rice with a specific ratio of water or broth in a saucepan.

Let it stand covered for a few minutes before fluffing with a fork.
