I'm not an expert on rice, but for some reason, because this rice happens to have the longest rice grain in the world and is grown at the foothills of the Himalayas, I figured it was naturally white. I don't know if rice can naturally be white or not. I do know there is brown basmati, and rice that is imported has less arsenic than American rice. Here is what I found: "long grain Himalayan Red Rice contains more of the natural bran than white rice" does. For this reason it requires a longer cooking time and has a nuttier more complex flavor than processed white rice's." Never had any basmati but whiteb4-this is some of the best I have tried.Unfortunate that it used to be $20 and is now double in price.

It's white rice. No bran. If it had bran, it would be brown rice. I don't know if it was bleached. It's delicious, though!

Not sure but what I DO Know is that the only rice that is natural is Wild Rice (long grain). Any other rice white, brown, black ect. ect. is a hybrid & contains starch. In the cooking process the starch tends to get sticky that's why white rice especially tends to stick to the sides and bottom of the pot. Out of all hybrid rice black rice is the least starchy but I would just buy the wild rice because the molecular structure is complete because its native to the earth (meaning it was found by man not made by man)Wild Rice is starchless (well at least the Non GMO kind)

It's a grain. Keep it dry, in a sealed jar and it should last years, like rice, just keep it bug free. BUT, DON'T LET IT SIT ON THE BACK OF THE SHELF!. It is a better nutritional substitute for rice. Makes a great pancake with any vegetable you like. Just add an egg, liquid of your choice and pancake mix (gluten free, etc) and it's a great side for any meal. I made carrot soup, millet pancakes for my 2 yr old grand son. He devoured it.

It is allowed to grow naturally and without any artificial fertilizers and insecticides and then is harvested by Indians by hand from canoes as was done many moons ago. That and the fact that it is super good and nutritious. It can also be blended with other rice types for those who want the extra flavor but not as strong.

It doesn't day on the package that it is, but it is 100% California grown medium grain milled rice, washing not necessary, I like it and it is way cheaper than buying it in the stores where I live

Yes, all kinds of rice, white or brown, it does a pretty good job. Just follow the instructions.

I cook it in my rice cooker all the time. I use the same amount of water as for white rice. I like it a bit chewy. You might add an extra Tablespoon or two of water if you like it softer.

No. The ingredients are "Organic Brown Rice, Water". That's it. Nothing else. And it is WONDERFUL stuff!

I believe the ingredients is on the box. Other than that I would draw my own conclusion, it may contain a bleach product. I am not too sure. Hope this helped.

Curious about this item. Do a search for "ingredients in enzymatic processed rice". Phoned Nutribiotic and discovered some of their "organic brown rice" comes from China, some from India, and some of the "enzyme processing" may also occur in China. On a positive note Vitamin Shoppe has a great return policy. Opened items with a receipt maybe exchanged/or store credit. In regards to Nutribiotics I might give "Nutribiotic 100% US Grown Rice Protein, Vanilla 1 lb. 5 oz (600 g) a test when or if it becomes available in my local store. I am not a fan of ordering products I have not previously used from Amazon due to s/h in the rare instance of cases such as these. Curious about this item.

It is whole soybeans (organic), a bit of toasted barley flour which gives it a smoother texture, sea salt and a bit of somethig I don't know much about but think it is a minute amount of seaweed extract (amount is miniscule) and that's it. Like most miso, it is salty so if you are on a salt restricted diet, it might not be good. If you can get the flat strips of unsalted seaweed to float a piece or two on the soup, I think it improves flavor. That's the way Japanese use it.

It is from both "brown and white rice flour" per the box ingredients. Hope that info helps.

It's dye. They say it's whole grain. But if you carefully find a half rice. The broken surface is black too. If you break one rice. It's white .

The rice is listed in the ingredients list as "rice flour". The pasta cooks up white. I suggest you call or e-mail Annie's customer service if you need to know more info.
