Short Rice, Brown, Organic

Organic short brown rice is a medium-grain whole grain with a nutty flavor and a tender, slightly sticky texture. Because only the inedible hull is removed, it keeps the bran and germ along with their fiber and minerals. It is a wholesome, less processed alternative to white rice.
