About the Rice

Every rice variety has its own character, and how it's milled plays an important role in the finished grain.

White rice is produced by gently polishing the grain to remove the outer bran layer and germ. This creates a rice with a clean flavour, soft texture and reliable cooking performance, making it one of the most versatile pantry staples.

Whether served alongside curries, stir fries, casseroles or grilled meats, Biodynamic White Rice cooks into light, separate grains that readily absorb the flavours of the dishes around them.
