What it is
This is a convenient frozen blend of organic brown rice and quinoa, seasoned with Asian-inspired flavors. It is pre-cooked and ready to heat, offering a wholesome and flavorful base for meals.

How people cook with it
This blend is perfect for quick weeknight dinners or as a speedy side dish. It simplifies meal preparation by providing a flavorful grain component that is already seasoned.

To prepare, simply heat the frozen blend in a skillet or microwave according to package directions. For skillet preparation, add a small amount of oil or water and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until heated through. In the microwave, place the contents in a microwave-safe dish, cover loosely, and heat on high power for a few minutes, stirring halfway through. It can be served directly from the package as a side or incorporated into other dishes.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike plain brown rice or quinoa, this blend is already seasoned with a savory Asian-inspired flavor profile. The inclusion of quinoa alongside brown rice offers a slightly different texture and a more complete amino acid profile compared to rice alone.
