Only the indigestible husk is removed from the round grain brown rice in the best demeter quality. This preserves the valuable silver skin. This surrounds the rice grain. Most of the vitamins and minerals are found directly underneath. If the rice grain is hulled, some of this is lost. In our brown rice, however, the silverskin is still intact and therefore also contains valuable vitamins and minerals. Our demeter rice is grown in northern Italy, in the Lombardy region. demeter rice is grown in northern Italy, in the Lombardy region. The partnership was established back in the 1980s between the senior boss of Spielberger Mühle, Hans Spielberger, and Senior Marsinari and is now being continued by the next generation. The special thing about it is not only the long-standing partnership of equals, but also the cultivation method. This is unique in Italy and is similar to the method used in Asia. The rice plants are pre-grown in a greenhouse and, after a few days, planted in rows directly in the beds and then flooded with spring water from the mountains. The advantage: the weeds cannot compete with the rice plants so easily. At the same time, after a few years of practical application, it has become clear that the ecology also benefits: As open water areas are left between the rows, bird species that were not seen for many years are now once again present in the region. Both the cultivation and the packaging stand for sustainability. It is based 100% on the renewable raw material wood. They can be completely collected in waste paper and 100% recycled. Through a long-term partnership with the Bergwaldprojekt e.V., Spielberger Mühle finances the planting of trees every year as well as the maintenance and preservation of the existing forest. The latter enables the forest to rejuvenate itself naturally - i.e. new trees grow and the forest thrives. This closes the paper cycle by offsetting paper consumption for packaging and giving something back to nature.
Basic recipe: Rinse the rice in a sieve with water until the water is no longer cloudy. Then bring to the boil once in double the amount of lightly salted water, turn the temperature down and simmer covered for at least 40 minutes until the rice is al dente. Tip: If the rice is soaked overnight in cold water, the cooking time is reduced to 25-30 minutes. Then pour away the water, wash the rice and cook in lightly salted water.
