What it is
This is a package of pre-portioned brown rice contained within individual boil-in-bags. The rice is whole grain, meaning it retains the bran and germ, which contribute to its texture and flavor. The bags are designed for convenient cooking, allowing users to easily measure and prepare a specific amount of rice without the mess of loose grains.
How people cook with it

To prepare, simply bring water to a boil in a pot. Add the boil-in-bag of brown rice and cook according to the package directions, typically for about 10-15 minutes.
