Red Rice

Store uncooked red rice in an airtight container in a cool, dark, dry place. It can last for several months, but its flavor is best within 6 months.

Rinse red rice thoroughly before cooking to remove any excess starch.

Red rice generally requires a longer cooking time and more liquid than white rice. A common ratio is 1 part rice to 2 parts liquid.

Its nutty flavor pairs well with hearty stews, roasted vegetables, and grilled meats.

Vegetables: Roasted root vegetables, broccoli, kale

Proteins: Chicken, fish, lentils, beans

Flavors: Garlic, onion, herbs (thyme, rosemary), spices (cumin, coriander)

Not rinsing the rice can lead to a gummy texture.

Using the same cooking time and liquid ratio as white rice will result in undercooked or hard grains.
