- Base for grain bowls
- Ingredient in soups and stews

To prepare, typically rinse the rice under cold water. Then, combine the rice with a specific amount of water or broth in a saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender. The cooking time can vary, but it generally takes longer than white rice. Once cooked, let it steam, covered, for a few minutes before fluffing with a fork.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to white rice, wholegrain brown rice has a firmer texture and a more pronounced, earthy flavor due to the presence of the bran and germ. It also requires a longer cooking time and absorbs more liquid.
