Three rules
for delicious rice
Measure out the water and
rice correctly.
Wash the rice gently.
Heavy-handed washing of the rice
can result in the grains splitting,
causing the rice to stick or burn.
Use suitable water.
We recommend the use of
tap water or filtered tap
water.

processed rice.

After opening a bag of rice, use it
promptly.

Use of alkaline water (with
a pH higher than 9) may
result in sticky or yellow-
coloured rice.

Use of hard mineral water
(with hardness of 100 or
