Natural Directions Organic Brown Jasmine Rice
What it is
This is a package of organic brown jasmine rice. It is a whole grain rice variety known for its distinct aroma and fluffy texture when cooked. The grains are long and slender, characteristic of jasmine rice. Being organic means it was grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. This rice offers a slightly nutty flavor and a chewier texture compared to white rice varieties.

To prepare, rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine one part rice with two parts water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 45 minutes, or until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender. Let it stand, covered, for 10 minutes before fluffing with a fork. The cooking time may vary slightly depending on your stovetop and desired tenderness.
