Harvesting

Organic Brown Long Grain Rice is commonly cultivated in flooded fields, where the water acts as a natural barrier against weeds and pests. The rice plants are sown in the spring and are ready for harvesting in the late summer or early autumn. The grains are left to mature on the plant, giving them their characteristic long and slender shape. Once harvested, the rice is processed to remove the outer husk, leaving the nutrient-rich bran layer intact, which gives the rice its distinctive brown colour.

This minimal processing helps to retain the natural vitamins, minerals, and fibre present in the rice, making it a wholesome and nutritious choice. Organic Brown Long Grain Rice is naturally rich in essential nutrients such as manganese, selenium, and magnesium, as well as being a good source of complex carbohydrates. Its earthy brown hue and nutty flavour make it a versatile ingredient for a wide range of dishes, from pilafs to salads, and it provides a satisfying and nutritious addition to any meal.

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

Best Before

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.

Packaging & Storage

You’ll receive your Organic Brown Long Grain 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.
