What it is

Organic short grain brown rice is the whole grain of the rice plant, Oryza sativa, with only the outer hull removed, leaving the bran and germ intact. 'Short grain' refers to its shorter, plumper shape compared to long grain varieties. 'Organic' indicates it was grown and processed according to organic farming standards, without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers.
