Billions of people all over the world eat rice and quite a number of them does so daily as it’s a staple food for the entirety of Asia.

Brown Vs. White Basmati Rice
The difference between brown and white basmati rice is immense. It’s caused by the processing of the kernels. First, the hull is peeled off, which leaves the grains brown. Next, milling continues to shed off all layers of bran as well as germ. This is how we get white rice.
One might think that ‘the cleaner the better’ but the truth is compley opposite. The bran and other layers removed during the abrasive grinding process contain the vast majority of B vitamins as well as vitamin E. The content of many other nutrients is also higher in brown rice as compared to the white variety.

Brown Basmati Rice: Storage Tips
Due to the fact that brown basmati rice is processed minimally, it retains oils that contain all those precious nutrients. However, this also means that it can go rancid if left for too long.
Food To Live Organic Raw Brown Basmati Rice should be stored in a cool dry place. Always keep it in an airtight container as humidity is the main reason of spoiling for this food. Refrigerating it would extend the lifespan of the grain, as it usually does with nuts.
Pay attention to the ‘use by’ date, but check the kernels anyway before using them as improper storage may cause them to go bad.
No matter what, our Organic Brown Basmati Rice should keep for months, which means it’s safe to buy it in bulk. This would be a good choice if you want to be sure that you always have some delicious brown basmati rice handy.
