How to Use

Natureland Brown Basmati Rice can be prepared as a side dish, base for salads, or accompaniment to main courses. Due to the presence of the bran layer, it requires a longer cooking time than polished white rice.

Rinse thoroughly before cooking to reduce surface starch. Use a 1:2 ratio of rice to water for boiling or steaming methods.

• Basic Boiling: Combine rice and water in a pot, bring to a boil, then simmer covered for 35–40 minutes until liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork before serving.
• Rice Cooker Method: Add rice and water to the cooker and select the brown rice setting for automated preparation.
• Salad Base: Cool cooked rice and combine with vegetables, legumes, or proteins for grain-based salads.
• Curry Companion: Serve with lentil or vegetable-based dishes common in South Asian cuisine.
• Breakfast Porridge: Cook with additional liquid and combine with fruits, nuts, or plant-based milk for a warm breakfast option.

Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Shelf life is up to 12 months under proper storage conditions. Toasting lightly in oil before adding water may enhance aroma.
