Unpolished rice: a guide to choosing, cooking and storage
Unpolished rice has its outer husk removed while retaining the bran layer. This gives the grain a different texture and appearance from polished white rice.
Unpolished rice versus polished rice
Polishing removes more of the grain's outer layers. Unpolished rice retains its bran and can take longer to cook. Colour, flavour and cooking time vary with the rice variety and processing method. Refer to the pack's nutrition panel for product-specific values.
How to cook unpolished rice
Rinse the rice before cooking. Soaking can help soften the grains. Follow your pack instructions for water quantity and cooking time, and adjust for your cooker and preferred texture. Let cooked rice rest briefly before serving.
How to store your rice
Keep unopened packs in a cool, dry place away from sunlight. After opening, use a clean airtight container and follow the best-before date on the pack.
