Frequently Asked Questions
This product includes two 3lb packages for a total of 6lbs: 3lbs of organic white rice and 3lbs of organic mixed barley and black rice. Having two different grain options makes it easy to switch between everyday rice dishes and more textured mixed-grain meals.
You receive 6lbs of grain altogether. The pack contains 3lbs of white rice plus 3lbs of the mixed barley and black rice blend.
No. While white rice is naturally gluten-free, the mixed barley and black rice blend contains barley, which naturally contains gluten. The complete 2-pack should therefore not be considered gluten-free.
Yes. Combining the two can create a hearty mixed-grain rice dish with different textures and flavors. For best results, soak the barley and black rice blend beforehand because barley generally requires longer cooking than white rice.
Rinse 1 cup of white rice and combine it with approximately 1½ cups of water. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce the heat, and simmer for around 15–20 minutes. Let it rest for 5–10 minutes before fluffing.
Rinse 1 cup of the blend and preferably soak it for 2–4 hours or overnight. Drain, add approximately 2½–3 cups of fresh water, and simmer covered for around 35–50 minutes, or until tender.
The 2-pack gives you greater flexibility in the kitchen. White rice works well for everyday meals, while the barley and black rice blend offers a heartier and more varied texture. You can enjoy them separately or combine them in mixed-grain recipes.
Keep each package sealed in a cool, dry place away from moisture and direct sunlight. After opening, transferring the grains to airtight containers can help maintain freshness and protect them from humidity and pantry pests.
