Our organic red rice is a premium whole grain rice variety known for its nutty flavor, hearty texture, and vibrant reddish-brown hue.
Cooking organic red rice is straightforward but may take a bit longer than white rice due to its bran layer. Rinse the rice thoroughly to remove excess starch, then use a 1:2 ratio of rice to water for cooking. Simmer with the lid on for around 40-45 minutes until the grains reach your desired tenderness. After cooking, fluff the rice with a fork to ensure even texture.
Q: Does organic red rice have any health benefits?
A: Yes, red rice is a whole grain and is considered a healthier option compared to refined white rice. It's a good source of dietary fiber, vitamins, and minerals and may contribute to heart health and overall well-being when part of a balanced diet.
Q: What makes red rice different from white or brown rice?
A: Red rice gets its distinct color from the natural pigments found in the bran layer of the rice kernel. Unlike white rice, which has the bran and germ removed during processing, and brown rice, which retains the bran, red rice keeps the bran layer intact.
