Brown Short Grain Rice ORGANIC (per 500g)

Brown Short Grain Rice ORGANIC is a wholesome pantry essential with a mild nutty flavour and a tender, naturally sticky finish. This organic short-grain rice is ideal for everyday cooking, from quick midweek meals to comforting family dishes.

As a short grain brown rice, it keeps the bran and germ intact, which gives it a fuller taste and a more satisfying texture than white rice. If you are looking for bulk organic rice that is versatile, filling, and easy to keep on hand, this is a dependable option.

Hand packed in either a paper bag or a returnable organic cotton bag (£1 deposit refunded on return).

Why this rice belongs in your cupboard

• Comforting texture: cooks to a soft bite with just enough stickiness to hold together well.
• Flexible for meals: suits simple sides, hearty bowls, and make-ahead lunches.
• Refill-friendly choice: a practical fit for shoppers reducing single-use packaging.
• Everyday value: a reliable staple for homes that want organic basics without the fuss.

How to cook organic short-grain rice

Rinse the rice in cold water until it looks clearer. This removes some surface starch and helps the grains cook more evenly.

Use 1 cup rice to 2 cups water. Bring to the boil, cover tightly, then reduce to a low simmer for around 40 minutes. Once the water has been absorbed, turn off the heat and let it rest for a few minutes before fluffing with a fork.

Cooking tips for better results

• Keep the lid on while simmering so the steam stays in the pan.
• Use a heavy-based saucepan to help prevent sticking.
• Add a little salt if you want a more savoury finish.
• For a softer texture, allow a short extra resting time after cooking.

Easy ways to serve short grain brown rice

This organic short-grain rice works well in grain bowls, vegetable side dishes, soups, curries, and one-pan meals. It pairs especially well with roasted vegetables, tofu, steamed greens, and punchy dressings.

It can also be used as sushi short grain rice when you want a shorter grain with a more cohesive texture for homemade rolls, rice balls, or bento-style lunches. You can even serve it warm with fruit, cinnamon, and a drizzle of honey for a simple breakfast bowl.

For anyone stocking up on bulk organic rice, it is a useful ingredient to keep ready for both savoury and lighter meals across the week.

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.
