Nutrition and everyday use

Rice is a staple for steamed rice and porridge. Whole-grain and refined rice differ in texture and nutritional composition; check the label when choosing a product.

Choosing and preparing

Avoid rice showing signs of moisture damage or insects. Distinguish whole grains, flour and pre-soaked products. Rinse grains gently and use the water ratio indicated for the rice and cooking method.

Storage and cooking

Store uncooked dry rice in a sealed container in a cool, dry place. Prepare the amount needed for your meal. Use cooked rice for bibimbap or kimchi fried rice.
