Organic Brown Jasmine Rice
What it is
This is whole grain brown rice that has been milled to retain its bran and germ. It is a variety of rice known for its fragrant aroma and slightly chewy texture when cooked. The organic certification means it was grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. It comes in a 32-ounce package.
How people cook with it
Brown jasmine rice is a versatile grain that can be a staple in many meals.
- Side dish for curries
- Base for grain bowls
- Ingredient in stir-fries
- Filling for stuffed vegetables
To cook, rinse the rice thoroughly under cold water to remove excess starch. 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. The cooking time can vary slightly depending on your stove and desired tenderness.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike white jasmine rice, brown jasmine rice retains its outer layers, the bran and germ. This gives it a nuttier flavor and a firmer, chewier texture. The whole grain nature also means it takes longer to cook than its white counterpart.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a wholesome and aromatic grain to incorporate into their daily cooking.
How to keep the rest
After opening, store any unused rice in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. This helps maintain its freshness and prevents it from absorbing odors from the pantry. It is best to use within a few months for optimal flavor.
