About Minute brown rice

Minute brown rice is a quick-cooking, whole-grain product derived from brown rice, a staple of cuisines worldwide, particularly Asian, Middle Eastern, and Latin American.

It also provides essential vitamins and minerals such as magnesium, manganese, selenium, and B vitamins. Minute brown rice is pre-cooked to reduce its cooking time while maintaining its nutritional qualities, making it a convenient option for those aiming to incorporate whole grains into their diet.
