Riceland Medium Grain Brown Rice
What it is
This is a package of medium grain brown rice from Riceland. Brown rice is a whole grain, meaning it still contains the bran and germ layers of the kernel. These layers provide a chewier texture and a nuttier flavor compared to white rice. The medium grain variety falls between short and long grain rice in terms of its cooked texture, offering a balance of tenderness and distinct grains.
How people cook with it
Brown rice is a versatile staple that can be enjoyed in many different dishes.
- Side dish
- Grain bowls
- Stuffed vegetables
- Soups
To prepare, rinse the rice under cold 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 method ensures evenly cooked grains.
How it differs from similar foods
Medium grain brown rice differs from short grain brown rice by being less sticky when cooked. It also has a softer texture than long grain brown rice. The whole grain nature means it retains more of its natural components than polished white rice.

How to keep the rest
