Harvesting

Organic White Long Grain Rice is typically grown in flooded fields, known as paddy fields, where the rice plants thrive in the warm, humid climate. The rice is usually sown in the spring and then harvested in the late summer or early autumn. The composition of this rice variety consists of long, slender grains with a white, translucent appearance. After harvesting, the rice is processed to remove the outer husk, bran, and germ layers, leaving behind the white endosperm. This processing helps to retain the natural nutrients and vitamins present in the rice, such as B vitamins, iron, and magnesium.

As an organic product, it is grown without the use of synthetic pesticides or fertilisers, ensuring a more natural and environmentally friendly cultivation process. The natural raw product makeup of organic white long-grain rice provides essential nutrients and minerals, making it a wholesome choice for a balanced diet. Its light and fluffy texture, along with its neutral flavour, makes it a versatile ingredient for a wide range of dishes, from pilafs and stir-fries to rice salads and desserts.

The organic nature of Organic White Long Grain Rice means that it is grown and harvested without the use of synthetic pesticides or fertilisers, preserving its natural composition.

Best Before

We believe in mindful consumption and want to share some insights on best before dates, especially when it comes to our dried foods. Best before dates indicate peak freshness and quality, not safety. Dried foods, such as grains and legumes, can often be safe and nutritious beyond their best before dates. They may lose a bit of their peak quality, but they remain a valuable and sustainable food source.

We encourage you to trust your senses. If stored properly and free from moisture, dried foods can maintain their safety and flavour for an extended period beyond the best before date. Embrace a less wasteful approach by exploring and using these ingredients even if they've passed their best before dates. Together, let's reduce food waste and maximise the full potential of every pantry staple.

Explore Waste Savers, where you'll find items approaching or past their best before date at reduced prices. Embrace conscious consumption, reduce food waste, and give these products a second chance. Your purchase not only saves you money but also contributes to a more sustainable and mindful approach to nourishment.

Packaging & Storage

You’ll receive your Organic White Long Grain Rice in a compostable kraft bag (unless you chose to get a compostable resealable pouch instead). These will be fine stored in the kraft bag for an extended time although, we recommend decanting and storing them in an airtight container to maintain optimum quality. Once decanted, you can save multiple bags and return them to us for a reward.
