CLEANSingle clean ingredient.

Rice milled only part of the way, so some of the bran stays on the grain. That is the whole idea: white rice has had the bran stripped for looks and shelf life, brown rice keeps all of it and takes real commitment to cook, and semi-polished sits between the two. It cooks close to the timing you already use, tastes faintly nuttier, and keeps a little of what milling normally removes.

Why We Like It

Retains more of the bran than fully polished rice, for a balanced texture with more of the grain intact.
Semi-polished and labelled as such, where many brands omit the milling degree entirely.
Shorter shelf life than white rice, because the bran carries oil — that is the trade-off, and it is an honest one.

Ingredients

Organic semi polished rice (100%)

Single ingredient

Rice milled part-way, so some of the bran layer is left on rather than stripped to white.

Partial milling (process, not an ingredient)

Process note

Semi-polished sits between brown and white rice. More bran than white means more fibre and oil; less than brown means it cooks faster and keeps longer.

No added colour or preservative

Not used

None declared; rice needs neither.

No polish coating

Nothing declared as applied to the grain

Talc and oil polishing have both been used in the rice trade to give white rice a sheen.

Is It For You?

Good for

Everyday rice for daily meals

Households that find brown rice too heavy

Pulao, curd rice, bisi bele bath and rice-based dishes

Anyone stepping down from polished white rice

Avoid if

Anyone who wants the full fibre of brown or red rice — this is milled part-way

Cooks expecting the soft, fluffy texture of polished white rice; the retained bran gives it more bite

Anyone storing rice for a long time — the retained bran oil means it does not keep as long as white

How to use

Rinse two or three times until the water runs mostly clear

Soak twenty minutes if you want a softer grain; it is optional

Cook with slightly more water than polished rice and give it a few minutes longer

Rest covered for five minutes off the heat before fluffing

What to look for in Rice?

Polishing strips the bran layer, which carries most of the fibre and minerals. More polish means whiter rice and less of what was in the grain.

Artificial shine comes from oil or talc buffing. Genuine unpolished and semi-polished rice looks matte and slightly uneven.

The ingredient list should read as one variety. Blending cheaper rice into a named variety is legal and common.

Older rice cooks firmer and separates better. Ask about milling date, not just the packing date.
