Organic red rice is typically grown and harvested in specific regions with suitable climate and soil conditions. Red rice is known for its rich composition, containing high levels of nutrients such as iron, zinc, and antioxidants. The vibrant red hue of the rice is attributed to its natural pigmentation, which is a result of the presence of anthocyanins, a type of flavonoid with potential health benefits.

Harvesting of organic red rice usually takes place in the late summer or early autumn, depending on the specific variety and location. Once harvested, the rice undergoes minimal processing to retain its nutritional value and distinctive colour. This may involve hulling to remove the outer husk, but the bran layer, where many of the nutrients are concentrated, is typically left intact. As a result, organic red rice is a whole grain, offering a higher nutritional content compared to refined grains. In its natural state, organic red rice provides essential nutrients such as B vitamins, magnesium, and fibre. No additional nutrients or minerals are added, as the raw product already boasts a robust nutritional profile. This makes organic red rice a valuable addition to a balanced diet, offering both health benefits and a visual appeal on the plate.

The organic nature of means that it is grown and harvested without the use of synthetic pesticides or fertilisers, preserving its natural composition.

We believe in mindful consumption and want to share some insights on best before dates, especially when it comes to our dried foods. Best before dates indicate peak freshness and quality, not safety. Dried foods, such as grains and legumes, can often be safe and nutritious beyond their best before dates. They may lose a bit of their peak quality, but they remain a valuable and sustainable food source.

We encourage you to trust your senses. If stored properly and free from moisture, dried foods can maintain their safety and flavour for an extended period beyond the best before date. Embrace a less wasteful approach by exploring and using these ingredients even if they've passed their best before dates. Together, let's reduce food waste and maximise the full potential of every pantry staple.

Explore Waste Savers, where you'll find items approaching or past their best before date at reduced prices. Embrace conscious consumption, reduce food waste, and give these products a second chance. Your purchase not only saves you money but also contributes to a more sustainable and mindful approach to nourishment.

You’ll receive your Organic Red Rice in a compostable kraft bag (unless you chose to get a compostable resealable pouch instead). These will be fine stored in the kraft bag for an extended time although, we recommend decanting and storing them in an airtight container to maintain optimum quality. Once decanted, you can save multiple bags and return them to us for a reward.
