Whole Grain Brown Rice

Mahatma® 100% Whole Grain Brown Rice has a subtle nutty taste and chewy texture, perfect for cooking up your favorite recipes with a bit more whole grains. Brown Rice is technically whole grain rice because it only has the outer, inedible layer removed but still has the bran layer and cereal germ intact. That’s what gives it that signature brown color and all of its whole grain benefits. Want to know more about what makes Brown Rice great? Check out our guide to whole grains.

How To Cook Brown Rice

The ideal ratio for cooking Brown Rice is 2¼:1, which means 2 ¼ cups of water per each cup of rice. You can cook this rice over the stove, in a rice cooker, slow cooker or even in the microwave.

Flavor Tip: To enhance its natural flavor, cook your rice in water or broth with seasonings and herbs.

Difference Between White Rice and Brown Rice

Although both White and Brown Rice can be used in a variety of different dishes, Brown Rice is 100% whole grain and harvested with its cereal and bran layer intact, giving it a more nutty flavor and chewy texture, while White Rice has both layers removed offering a more neutral flavor and fluffier texture.
