InHarvest Organic Brown Rice
What it is
This is whole grain brown rice, meaning it still contains the bran and germ. These parts provide a nutty flavor and chewy texture. It is grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers, adhering to organic farming standards. The grains are typically medium to long in length and have a natural brown hue. This rice is a versatile pantry staple for everyday meals.
How people cook with it
Brown rice can be a base for many dishes. It absorbs flavors well and complements a variety of ingredients.
- Side dish for main courses
- Base for grain bowls
- Ingredient in soups
- Component of pilafs
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 water is absorbed and the rice is tender. Let it stand, covered, for 5-10 minutes before fluffing with a fork. This cooking method ensures the grains are separate and perfectly cooked for your meal.
