Care should be exercised when storing brown rice. Uncooked brown rice can be best kept for short periods of time in your cupboard, but remains fresher indefinitely when refrigerated due to the natural oils it contains. It requires approximatley 50 minutes cooking time and slightly more liquid than white rice. The outer husk is removed and and the bran layers are milled off untilt he grain is white. One cup of uncooked rice will yield 3 to 4 cups of cooked rice in only 15 - 20 minutes of cooking time.
