1kg of Organic Short Grain Brown Rice packed in our plant based, celluose, compostable bags.
Short-grain brown rice is whole-grain rice with only the inedible outer husk removed. The bran and germ remain intact, giving it more fibre, nutrients, and a chewier texture than white rice. The short-grain variety is naturally starchier than long-grain rice.
Flavour & texture
Nutty, earthy, and mildly sweet. When cooked, short-grain brown rice becomes tender but slightly chewy, with a gentle stickiness that helps it hold together.
Common culinary uses
- Rice bowls – holds sauces and toppings well
- Sushi-style dishes – a whole-grain alternative to white sushi rice
- Risotto-style dishes – creamier than long-grain brown rice
- Stuffed vegetables – peppers, squash, cabbage leaves
- Soups & stews – adds body and substance
- Grain salads – hearty and filling
Short-grain brown rice is chosen when you want structure and cohesion rather than fluffy separation.
