- How do you cook Uncle Ben's Whole Grain Brown Ready Rice?
- Tear the corner of the pouch and microwave it for about 90 seconds, or empty it into a saucepan and heat on the stovetop. The rice is already cooked, so you are only reheating it.
- Is it whole grain rice or white rice?
- It is long grain brown rice, so the bran layer is left on. That gives it more fiber than white instant rice, though the texture is softer than rice cooked from dry.
- Does it have added salt or sugar?
- No added sugar, and it is very low in sodium. Check the pouch for the exact numbers if you are watching either closely.
- How many servings are in one pouch?
- One pouch holds about two servings as a side dish. It is enough for two people or one person with leftovers.
- How does it compare with Uncle Ben's white Ready Rice?
- The brown version has more fiber and a nuttier taste, but it is a little firmer and less neutral than the white pouches. Both heat in about the same time.
- Does it need refrigeration before opening?
- No. The pouch is shelf-stable until opened, so it stores in the pantry. Refrigerate any rice left in an opened pouch.
