Long Grain Brown Rice (£ per kg)

Description

Long-grain rice is slim and lengthy, nearly four to five times longer than it is wide. This longer grain, when cooked properly, tends to be much fluffier and less sticky. It produces a “drier” rice, which means that the grains are easily separated. They are best used for plain rice sides and pilafs. 

We are obsessed with biryani in our house – incredibly fragrant and full of flavour, colours and warm spices. Long grain rice is the perfect rice for this! Why not try making it yourself? We recommend this vegan biryani from Getsetvegan.com, easy to tailor to whatever veg you have to hand. 

We always recommend rinsing rice well before use, as it washes away any dirt and excess starch. Pour washed rice in boiling water, add salt and cover. When the water bubbles, reduce to a simmer and cook for 15-20 mins. Get rid of any excess water, and leave covered for 5 minutes, before fluffing with a fork.
