Organic Brown Short Grain Rice is typically grown and harvested to ensure its high quality and nutritional value. This type of rice is commonly cultivated in flooded fields, known as paddy fields, where the rice plants thrive in the warm and humid climate. The harvesting of organic brown short grain rice usually takes place in the late summer or early autumn, when the grains have reached their peak.

The composition of organic brown short grain rice includes the outer bran layer, the nutrient-rich germ, and the starchy endosperm. This composition gives the rice its characteristic chewy texture and nutty flavour. After harvesting, the rice is typically processed to remove the outer husk, but unlike white rice, the bran layer and germ are left intact, preserving their valuable nutrients and fibre content. This results in the rice retaining its natural brown colour and a higher nutritional profile, including added vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants such as B vitamins, magnesium, and essential fatty acids. The natural raw product makeup of organic brown short grain rice makes it a wholesome and nutritious choice, offering a range of health benefits and a delicious, earthy taste.

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 Brown Short 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.
