This rice is also suitable for a wide variety of diets as it is Gluten Free, Kosher Certified, vegan and vegetarian.

Brown Rice vs White Rice

In contrast to traditional White Rice, 100% whole grain brown rice has its cereal and bran layer still intact which gives it that signature brown color and unique flavor. This means it cooks up with a fluffy, slightly chewy texture and subtle nutty flavor, where white rice has a neutral flavor.

How To Cook Organic Rice

Our organic brown rice can be cooked over the stove, in the microwave, in a rice cooker, Instant Pot and more.

To cook your rice traditionally over the stove: In a saucepan, bring  2 ¼ cups  of water to a boil. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 teaspoon salt per cup of uncooked rice, if desired. Stir in 1 cup of rice, cover, reduce the heat to simmer for 45 minutes or until all water is absorbed.
*1 Cup of uncooked rice yields 3 ½ cups cooked rice.

Flavor Tip: To add more natural flavor to your rice, swap out the cooking water for homemade broth or stock, or season the cooking water with fresh herbs and oil.
