As a rice enthusiast, let me share some important distinctions between different rice sizes. Short grain has the highest starch content, resulting in the stickiest rice, while long grain is lighter and maintains its separate texture when cooked. Medium grain rice falls in between these two options.
How To Cook: To cook one cup of brown rice, add 2 _ cups of water and bring to a boil then simmer for 25-45 minutes. After cooking will yield 3 cups.
It all began on the Vetter family farm in 1953. That is when Don Vetter, questioning the science and ethics of the agricultural practices of the day, began to adopt organic farming methods. Don’s son David returned to the farm in 1975 after earning a Bachelor’s Degree in agronomy/soil science from the University of Nebraska. The Vetters were true pioneers, being among the first in the region to take the organic challenge. Their courage and perseverance paid off; the farm was certified organic in 1978, and became The Grain Place, Inc. in 1979. Now a well-established and growing business, Grain Place Foods is operated by a staff of two dozen highly-trained individuals, several of whom have been with the company for over 15 years.
The mission of Grain Place Foods is to provide to its customers grain products that are grown and produced in an ecologically sustainable and socially responsible manner – with the conviction that how your food is produced does matter! Based in Marquette, Nebraska.
