How to cook

• Basic method: 1 cup rice to about 2 cups water, simmered 18-22 minutes — parboiled rice can take a little longer than regular white basmati.
• Rinse until the water runs clear, then cook covered on low heat.
• Let the pot rest 5 minutes off the heat before serving for fluffy, separated grains.

Storage

• Store in a cool, dry place in an airtight container, away from moisture and pests.

Frequently asked

What does "golden sella" mean?

It refers to the parboiling process, which gives the grain a slightly golden colour and firmer, less sticky texture once cooked.

Is this good for jollof rice?

Yes — its firm texture holds up well to the long simmer and reheating that jollof rice often needs.
