Cooking Long Grain Brown Rice
How to Cook Whole Grains
Use these basic guidelines for cooking whole grains including amaranth, barley, buckwheat, bulgur, cornmeal, couscous, Kamut®, millet, oats, pasta, quinoa, brown rice, rye berries, sorghum, spelt berries, wheat berries and wild rice
Cooking Tips
- Try lightly roasting grains in a dry skillet before cooking. This gives them a lighter texture and a nuttier taste.
- Most grains become sticky if stirred, so leave them alone while they cook. The result will be fluffier and tastier.
- Some grain dishes, such as bulgar and couscous, are actually fluffier if you do not cook them. Just pour boiling water over the grains, let them stand for 15 to 20 minutes, then toss them with a fork before adding other ingredients or serving.
