Preparation & Use

For stovetop preparation, combine one part rice with two parts water in a saucepan, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 40 to 45 minutes until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender. Let stand covered for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork. Brown rice can also be prepared in a rice cooker using the same 2:1 water to rice ratio with the brown rice setting if available, or in the oven by baking a covered baking dish at 375°F for about one hour. A 25 pound bag yields approximately 125 quarter cup dry servings, which triple in volume once cooked.

Common Applications

This whole grain brown rice works well as a daily menu starch in cafeterias and buffet lines, as a base for customizable build your own bowl stations, and as an ingredient in stuffed pepper and cabbage roll prep. It also holds up in cold rice salads and pilaf style dishes where the firmer bran texture provides pleasant chew. For operations that cycle between white and brown rice, Ben’s Original offers consistent cook times and yields that simplify kitchen planning.
