Preparation, uses, and tips
Rinse 1 cup of rice and drain well. In a heavy saucepan with a lid, combine rice with 2
cups (500mL) of water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium, and simmer,
covered, until tender (about 30 minutes for medium- to long-grain white rice, 40 minutes for
brown rice, 20 minutes for arborio or short-grain rice, and 1 hour for wild rice).
Add dried cherries and wheat berries, or diced apples, walnuts, raisins, and a little maple
syrup.
To reheat cooked rice, for each 1 cup (200 grams) of rice, add 2 Tbsp (30mL) liquid. Cover
and heat 4 to 5 minutes on top of range or in oven. In a microwave oven, cook on High about 1
1/2 minutes per cup (200g).
Buying and storing tips
Buy wehani rice in the packaged-grains section of grocery, health food, and specialty
stores. Wehani rice is sold in bulk at most local health stores. When purchasing wehani rice
in bulk, look for intact kernels that aren’t broken, scratched, or damaged. Store rice
in a cool, dry area in a sealed glass or plastic container, away from the open air and
moisture.
Cooked rice can be refrigerated for up to 7 days, or stored in the freezer for 6
months.
