Organic Short Grain Brown Rice

What Is Organic Short 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 Short 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.

There is a tendency for Short Grain rice to get sticky and stay soft , so it suffers from the addition of extra water and because of its smaller size, it requires a shorter cooking time than long grain rice. If you are used to cooking long grain rice, you may wish to reduce your water by about 10 percent. Typically, you want to use about 2 1/2 cups of water for every cup of rice.

Some rice manufacturers recommended using 2 cups of water per cup of rice and adjusting the cooking time.
