Organic Long Grain Brown Rice

What Is Organic Long Grain Brown Rice?

Though short grain and long grain brown rice share more similarities than differences, they contain a few key deviations in flavour and preparation. Do not confuse long grain brown rice with jasmine or basmati brown rice. Though these rice's have long kernels, they are distinct from long grain brown rice.

Both short and long grain brown rice feature a light brown colour and a small size. Short-grain rice has a short but wide kernel and often has rounded edges. Long grain rice has a long kernel and often has pointed edges. In some cases, you can find medium grain rice, which looks like a half-way point between long and short grain rice.

Why Should I Get Organic Long Grain Brown Rice?

Brown rice is a highly nutritious food. It is a whole grain that is relatively low in calories (216 calories per cup), high in fibre, gluten-free and can be incorporated into a variety of dishes.

The rice is a good source of magnesium, phosphorus, selenium, thiamine, niacin and vitamin B6, and an excellent source of manganese, with 88 percent of your daily manganese in just one cup cooked.

Because of its tendency to get sticky and stay soft, short grain rice suffers from any addition of extra water. Long grain brown rice is of course more forgiving than its shorter counterpart. Typically, you want to use about 3 cups of water for every cup of rice.
