How to Use
Rinse the rice if desired, then combine with water at the ratio printed on the bag, bring to a boil, cover, and simmer until the water is absorbed and the grains are tender, usually about 20 minutes. Let it rest covered for a few minutes before fluffing with a fork. Store the unopened bag in a cool, dry pantry, and once opened, reseal it in an airtight container to keep out moisture and pests.
