Basmati BROWN rice ORGANIC (per 500g)

Organic brown basmati rice brings a gentle aroma, a nutty finish and a satisfying bite to everyday cooking. This organic basmati 500g pack is an easy pantry staple for meals that feel wholesome without being complicated.

Why this wholegrain rice works so well

Brown basmati rice keeps its bran layer, which gives it a fuller texture and a more substantial result than white rice. It is a practical choice for busy kitchens because it suits simple weeknight dinners, batch cooking and lighter lunches alike.

If you want a dependable organic basmati rice option for family meals, this grain pairs naturally with bold flavours and absorbs sauces well while still staying distinct on the plate.

Product benefits at a glance

• Wholegrain texture: ideal when you want a filling side with more bite.
• Subtle fragrance: a classic match for curries, dals and savoury trays.
• Flexible for meal prep: useful in salads, bowls and make-ahead lunches.
• Low-waste packaging choice: available with a paper bag or returnable organic cotton bag and a refundable £1 deposit.

How to cook fluffy brown basmati rice

Rinse the rice thoroughly in cold water before cooking. Use 1 cup rice to 2 cups water, bring to the boil, then lower the heat and cover for 15–20 minutes until the grains are tender.

For an even softer finish, soak the rice for about 1 hour before cooking. Once done, let it stand for a few minutes and fluff gently with a fork to keep the grains light and separate.

Serving ideas for everyday meals

• Pair with curry, dhal or spiced lentils.
• Use in grain bowls with roast vegetables and tahini.
• Serve alongside chickpeas, tofu or grilled halloumi.
• Mix with herbs, lemon zest and olive oil for a fresh side dish.

Storage tips for lasting freshness

Allergen Information

As a bulk foods store, despite maintaining a Five-Star Food Hygiene rating, the presence of allergens cannot be fully eliminated. Sacks of products containing allergens are opened and closed daily as we scoop and refill our shop dispensers. We use separate scoops for each product and store each product in its own container or original sack — however, products containing allergens are not stored or packed in a self-contained area.

This means all products may contain traces of allergens due to cross-contamination.

Where a product is indicated as free from a particular allergen, this means it has not been formulated from or wholly derived from that ingredient. Allergen handling procedures are in place throughout our supply chain to minimise the risk of cross-contamination, but this cannot be guaranteed.

If you have a severe food allergy, please contact us before ordering so we can advise whether our products are suitable for you.
