This medium grain brown rice is grown and processed under certified biodynamic conditions by Australian farming families working with Biodynamic Marketing Co., based in Powelltown, Victoria. Carefully grown without synthetic chemicals or artificial inputs, this rice is unpolished and retains its full bran layer, offering both deep flavour and high nutritional value.

Unlike white rice, brown rice is a whole grain—the hull is removed but the germ and bran remain intact, resulting in a richer texture, nuttier taste, and higher fibre, vitamin, and mineral content.

With a soft, slightly sticky texture when cooked, medium grain brown rice strikes a balance between long grain fluffiness and short grain creaminess, making it versatile in the kitchen—perfect for rice bowls, pilafs, stir-fries, curries, and everyday meals.

Why we love it:

• 100% Australian-grown, certified biodynamic (Demeter)

• Supplied by Biodynamic Marketing Co., trusted since 1981

• Medium grain texture – tender, moist, slightly sticky

• Wholegrain and unpolished – rich in nutrients and fibre

• Grown without synthetic chemicals or fertilisers

How to cook:

1. Rinse rice thoroughly under cold water.

2. Use a 1:2 rice-to-water ratio.

3. Bring to a boil, reduce to low, and simmer covered for 35–40 minutes, or until water is absorbed.

4. Let sit for 5–10 minutes before fluffing with a fork.

Optional: Soaking for 4–8 hours before cooking can improve digestibility and shorten cook time.

Does this contain gluten?
