How do you heat Minute Brown Rice Cups?

Peel back the film to vent and microwave the cup for about 60 seconds. Let it stand briefly, then fluff with a fork. The cup gets hot, so handle it with care.

Is Minute Brown Rice whole grain?

Yes. It is brown rice, so the bran layer is intact and it counts as a whole grain. It is also Non-GMO Project Verified and made without preservatives.

How many servings are in one cup?

Each 8.8 oz cup holds about two half-cup servings of cooked rice. One cup works as a side for two people or a base for one large bowl.

How does it compare with instant brown rice in a box?

The cup is faster and needs no measuring or pot, but it costs more per serving. Boxed instant rice gives you more control over texture and lets you season the whole batch.

Does it need refrigeration?

No. The cups are shelf-stable until opened. Refrigerate any leftover rice and use it within a few days.

Brown rice is naturally gluten-free, but check the package for allergen statements if you have celiac disease or a severe allergy.

Our take on the Minute Brown Rice

Minute Brown Rice Cups are single-serve, pre-cooked whole-grain brown rice in 8.8 oz BPA-free cups that heat in about 60 seconds. They are Non-GMO Project Verified, cholesterol-free and made without preservatives. The rice is chewy with a nutty flavor, and each cup holds roughly two servings. They suit people who want whole-grain rice fast without cooking a pot. Against boil-in-bag or instant brown rice, they cost more per serving and give less control over texture, but they need no measuring, no stove and no cleanup.
