- Is this rice certified gluten free?
- Yes. Mahatma labels this brown rice gluten free, and the brand states it is processed to avoid gluten cross-contact. Check the bag's current certification mark if you have celiac disease.
- How long does it take to cook?
- Expect about 40 to 45 minutes of simmering, longer than white rice. Soaking beforehand can shorten it slightly.
- Is it the same as regular brown rice?
- It is whole grain long-grain brown rice; the difference is the gluten-free handling and labeling, not the grain itself.
- How should I store the 12-pack?
- Keep bags sealed in a cool, dry place. Brown rice keeps less long than white because of the bran oils; freezing extra bags extends shelf life.
- Can I use it for rice bowls and pilafs?
- Yes. The long grains stay separate, which suits bowls, pilafs and fried rice, though the firmer texture is noticeable.
- Where is the Mahatma Gluten Free Whole Grain Brown Rice cheapest?
- At Walmart, for $32.83, as of our latest check.
