Brown mistral rice. Brown rice Method for cooking brown rice

Cereals are very important for good nutrition. Porridges and side dishes are generally very healthy dishes.
Everyone probably knows the manufacturer Mistral; he offers us an excellent and high-quality product, proven over the years. My husband bought brown rice, long grain Indica brown from this company.
The packaging of this rice is ordinary, polyethylene, I really liked the unique barcode, it was originally designed in the form of cereals. The rest is all quite usual, the packaging is closed in a special place with a sticky layer.
There is nothing special about cooking this rice, although there are instructions on the package, but perhaps it is for those who have never cooked rice before, because the process is no different from cooking any other rice. Personally, I looked at these instructions only when I sat down to write a review; I cooked rice calmly without it.
I will describe the cooking process in simple words, for those who do not know. Just fill the rice with water, this rice is clean, you don’t need to sort it out and wash it, as I remember fiddling around with for hours as a child. Then we put the pan with rice and water on the stove and cook, the fire should be kept low so that the rice cooks and not the water boils away. Half an hour and the product is ready, taking into account the fact that it infused for another five minutes and swelled a little. Just watch the condition all the time and stir so as not to overcook. Everything is very easy, there are never any difficulties.
I repeat once again that this rice is pure, it is directly selected, one grain after another. Very beautiful in appearance. There is no shame in putting it on a dish, it turns out crumbly.
I’ve tried to cook everything from this rice, I’ve made risotto, pilaf, rice casserole, and much more, everything turns out just perfect, not to mention the fact that you can just boil it. Yes, by the way, I also cooked it in a double boiler, it also turned out great, I seasoned it with my favorite seasoning, chili pepper, an excellent dish.
If I have a question in my store about buying Mistral rice or some other brand, then I will definitely choose Mistral.
I highly recommend this high-quality, selected and very tasty rice.

From the administration of the Diamart store: In order to check how gently this type of rice was polished, we tried to germinate it. The result is in the photo. Germination rate is almost 100% (the only exception is crushed grains). This shows that the embryo does not “suffer” during grinding and remains alive.

The packaging is in the traditional Mistral form, with an image of a woman in the traditional costume of the product being presented.

Price per package 110 rubles / 1 kg.

I decided to compare prices to see how much more expensive Mistral is than other companies. It turned out that in the same price category as “National” 98 rubles - 800 grams and a little more expensive than “Agro Alliance” (Packaging 800 grams in “Magnit” - 85 rubles.)

On the reverse side it is indicated, very conveniently, the cooking time.

In this case, this is rice of the average category in terms of cooking time - 25 minutes.

The grains themselves are very beautiful and neat. No spoiled or rotten ones. There was no desire to even sort through them, they turned out to be so clean.

Preparation:

Important! Always maintain the correct water to grain ratio. In this case, 1 to 2.

When cooked, the rice does not stick together, the grain opens a little, acquiring a pleasant nutty smell.

I cook with the lid tightly closed, turn it off and leave it to simmer. The aroma is excellent. It is this moment - letting the rice stand that makes it the most delicious and less coarse grain.

Taste

very different from other varieties of rice. Some people find it unpleasant and seem very specific. I’m in love with this taste that the grain shell gives.

This is exactly the moment when the tasty combined with the healthy.

Useful qualities of brown rice:

Brown rice saturates the body with vitamins E, group B (B1, B2, B3, B4, B5, B6), PP, micro- and macroelements (calcium, magnesium, iron, potassium, iodine, phosphorus, copper), amino acids. It contains vegetable fats and carbohydrates, which to some extent reduces the body's need for sweets.
