FACTS ABOUT RICE
Rice is more than just a side dish - it's one of the most widely consumed food staples,
feeding nearly half of the world's population. For many cultures, rice is not just a food,
but a part of everyday life. White rice can last many years, because the bran and germ
are not intact. Brown rice and other whole-grain rice do not to keep longer than 6
months. It's best to use whole-grain rice within 3 to 6 months. It's also a good idea to
store rice in a cool dry place, or better yet in your refrigerator or freezer.
WHITE RICE
White rice is the most commonly
consumed rice in the world. It works
well as a balancing side dish and
incorporates well with main dishes,
stir-frys, etc. Most white rice cooks
up in 20 minutes. Instant rice cooks
up in 5 to 10 minutes.
BROWN RICE
Brown rice has a higher nutritional
value than white rice. Any variety of
rice, including short, medium and
long grain, can have a brown
counterpart - all rice starts out as a
whole grain. Brown rice requires
double the amount of cooking time,
typically 40 minutes.
HOW TO CLEAN

short grain rice. Distinctly prepared, the

Wild rice is simply a seed of grass. It can
be enjoyed just the same as white or
brown rice. It has the longest required
cooking time of up to 50 minutes. When
