Minute Rice Quick Cook Wholegrain Brown

Ten minutes for a nutty, slightly chewy pot. The ingredient is pre-cooked whole grain brown rice, long grain. Boxes are 600 g and 1200 g. It is marked gluten-free and sodium free.

The same seven US states named for instant white also cover this brown. Toronto is the Canadian office. Ebro in Spain is the owner. The box page never names a mill in Canada.

On the stove, return it to a boil, then simmer 10 minutes. Microwave times on the page are 7, 11, or 15 minutes by serving count. A tip uses apple juice instead of water.
