• To cook, use a ratio of 2 cups water to 1 cup rice. Bring the water to a boil over high heat. Add the rice and boil for about one minute. Then turn the heat to low-medium and cover the pot. Let the rice cook for at least 10-15 minutes without stirring. When the water has cooked off, stir the rice to check the consistency. The rice should be soft and moist. Serve and enjoy.

How Interesting...

• Evidence suggests that rice was first grown in the Yangtze Valley of China more than 8,000 years ago.
• Every rice grain consists of a white seed with a protective brown layer (called the bran) and an inedible outer layer called the hull. The hull is removed from all rice eaten by people. The bran can be removed by a process called polishing. When rice is sold with the bran intact it is called brown rice; when the bran is polished off the rice is called white rice.
