Brown Rice

Brown Rice is the wholegrain counterpart to white rice, retaining the outer bran and germ layers that are removed during the milling of white rice. The result is a nuttier, more textured grain with a higher fibre content — and at Tuk Tuk Mart, we stock a range of Brown Rice online from trusted Asian brands with fast UK delivery.

The bran layer gives the Brown Rice its characteristic tan colour and slightly chewy bite. It takes a little longer to cook than white rice — typically 30 to 40 minutes using the absorption method — but the result is a filling, satisfying grain that holds up well as a base for rice bowls, stir-fries and curries.

Asian-branded brown rice has some specific advantages over standard supermarket varieties. Japanese short-grain brown rice, for example, has a naturally softer texture when cooked than long-grain varieties, making it more approachable for those new to wholegrain rice. This rice combines the fragrant quality of jasmine rice with the nutritional profile of a wholegrain, offering a useful middle ground.
