Uncooked Brown Rice Measuring FAQs

Why does brown rice require more cooking water than white rice? ▾

The exterior fibrous bran coat slows water penetration, requiring approximately 2 to 2.25 cups of liquid per 190g cup of brown rice.

How should uncooked brown rice be stored to prevent rancidity? ▾

Because the whole germ contains natural polyunsaturated oils, store brown rice in an airtight container in a cool, dark pantry or freeze for up to a year.
