How do you prepare Minute Brown and Wild Rice cups?

Peel back the lid and microwave the cup for about 60 seconds, then fluff and serve. No water or draining is needed because the rice is pre-cooked.

Yes. It is a blend of brown rice and wild rice, both whole grains, so it gives more fiber than instant white rice.

Does it contain preservatives?

No. Minute says the cups are made without preservatives, are cholesterol-free and Non-GMO Project Verified.

How many servings are in a cup?

Each cup is a single 8.8 oz serving, meant for one person as a side or base for a bowl.

It is pre-cooked, so it can be eaten straight from the cup, though most people microwave it for better texture.

How does it compare with plain instant white rice?

It takes about the same time but adds whole-grain fiber and the chewy texture of wild rice, at a higher cost per serving.

Our take on the Minute Ready-to-Eat Brown and Wild Rice

Minute's Brown and Wild Rice cups are pre-cooked single-serve cups of brown rice blended with wild rice, ready after about 60 seconds in the microwave. The blend gives a chewy texture and nutty flavor without the 40-plus minutes whole brown and wild rice need on the stove. They are Non-GMO Project Verified, cholesterol-free, made without preservatives and packed in BPA-free cups. They suit quick lunches, desk meals and small households that don't want to cook a whole pot; against plain instant white rice they add whole-grain fiber and wild rice texture, but they cost more per serving than dry rice and come in fixed portions.
