Biona Organic Long Grain Brown Rice, 1kg

Cost effective and reduces waste when compared to buying packs of pre cooks rice.Great taste and texture and although its takes a bit of time to cook it’s worth it for a healthy mealQuality wise my only gripe is that it does seem to need quite a good wash to prevent that gray foam from appearing when cooking.

Good quality organic brown rice, with a pleasant nutty flavour. I would recommend washing thoroughly before use and ideally soaking before hand and discarding the water, because brown rice can have quite high amounts of arsenic from the soil it is grown in. Alternatively you can change the water half way through cooking, which is also very effective.

Good but little bit expensive

The pack arrived full of live insects, we had to drop all the pack without using it.

I normally go for Basmati when buying organic wholegrain rice, but thought I'd try the long grain variety for no other reason than that it's cheaper.It tastes pretty much the same but the texture is a little more chewy and less soft. Not a major difference, especially once it's under a heap of chilli or curry.The cooking instructions recommend boiling for 40-45 mins, but for me 30 mins is plenty (Basmati is about 25, so not a big difference). I did try the recommended duration the first time but the rice came out a bit mushy.Oh, and unlike for one or two unhappy reviewers, mine didn't come with any bonus insects.Will probably buy again.

Worried about tales of chemical traces in rice so went organic. No complaints.

I will always spend more money for good food than anything else. My body is with me all my life and I treat it like a jewel. If more people prioritised their health over glamour and commerce good food would go down in price be ause it could be mass produced organically, effectively and authentically. The world is so inverted
