Organic Brown Rice

This is exactly what a pantry staple should be, a single ingredient organic whole grain rice with nothing added. A 45 gram dry serving runs 150 calories with 35 grams of carbs, 3 grams of fiber, 3 grams of protein, zero added sugar and zero sodium, so it is a clean base you season yourself rather than a heat and eat convenience food. Health minded shoppers reach for it because the sourcing is unusually well documented, with Non GMO Project Verified, Certified Gluten Free and Regenerative Organic Certified all on the bag. The honest caveat is practical, it is raw grain that needs roughly 45 minutes to cook, and like all brown rice it naturally carries more inorganic arsenic than white rice, so rinsing well and cooking in extra water is worth doing.
