Semi-wholemeal rice, Japonica, with medium long, round grain; length-width ratio less than 3.
This Arborio brown rice retains its outside coating (pericardium) , is darker in colour and rich in fibre, vitamins and minerals with higher nutritional value. Given its flavour, which is stronger than refined white rice, it is a perfect accompaniment to more savoury dishes, not only meats and cheese, but also pulses, vegetables and cereals such as barley and spelt. The outside coating requires a longer cooking time than white rice. However, if the rice is left to soak for 8 hours prior to cooking ( use the water in which the rice has been soaked to preserve all the nutritional properties) cooking time will be reduced. This rice yields less starch on cooking and absorbs less sauce so is not especially suitable for risottos. It is ideal for pilaf rice, cold dishes, rice salads, country soups and side dishes.
