The difference between white rice and brown rice

A white rice Husked, with a lighter and more neutral flavour. It cooks more quickly, making it a practical choice when a short cooking time, a softer side dish or a less distinctive rice base is required.

A brown rice In the case of brown rice, the outer layer of the grain contains fibre, minerals and plant-based compounds. As a result, brown rice is darker in colour, has a stronger flavour and requires a longer cooking time. It works well in dishes where the rice is not merely a side dish, but also lends a more pronounced texture and character to the meal.

What should you choose to go with it?

If you’d like a lighter, quicker-to-prepare side dish, white rice goes well with organic brown rice. For pancakes, thickening and gluten-free baking, the white rice flour, brown rice flour and organic millet flour can be used.

For rice salads, vegetable dishes and cold side dishes, the cold-pressed natural oils give a more distinctive flavour. For sweeter porridges, homemade desserts and breakfast-style rice dishes, the plain dried fruit are suitable.

If you want to eat more fibre, the Apple fibre and the Apple Pectin with Inulin can be used as a separate addition. For thicker fillings, homemade cakes and recipes with a more distinctive flavour, the sparrows …are also well connected.
