Organic Red Rice 500g

Red rice is a whole-grain variety with a russet-red outer bran layer rich in anthocyanins and tannins — the same antioxidant compounds found in red wine and pomegranates. These certified organic red rice from Just Natural Organic have a nutty, slightly earthy flavour with a firm bite, cooking to a striking burgundy-red colour that makes them beautiful in grain bowls and salads.

Provides iron, fibre (4g/100g), manganese, and B vitamins alongside polyphenol antioxidants. Higher nutritional value than white rice.

Certified organic by the Soil Association. Plastic-free, home-compostable packaging. Available in 500g.

Use in grain bowls, salads, pilafs, and as a striking side dish. Mix with white rice for visual contrast. Cook 1:2 ratio for 35–40 minutes. Rest 10 minutes.

Recipe idea — Red Rice & Roasted Vegetable Salad: Cook 200g red rice. Roast cherry tomatoes, courgette, and red pepper with olive oil and herbs at 200°C for 25 minutes. Combine with cooled rice, rocket, toasted pine nuts, and a lemon-olive oil dressing. The deep red rice against colourful roasted vegetables creates a beautiful, nutritious salad.
