Frequently asked

Is this rice parboiled?

No — this is regular white basmati, not parboiled, which is why it cooks in around 15-18 minutes.

Can I use this for fried rice?

Yes — cook it a little firmer than usual, spread it on a tray to cool, then stir-fry with vegetables and your choice of protein.
