## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is total quantity of the order - 6 x 500g bags?**
A: 3 kg of rice in 6 packets of 500 gms each

**Q: isn't this called arborio ??**
A: I've used it as arborio rice and it is really nice.  I normally soak the rice with boiling water for 1 hour in a pan with lid. It reduces the boiling time. Then just rinse the rice and add fresh water to boil it after the instructions.

**Q: This states on the packet it is wholegrain but the description says it is a mix of black and white risotto rice. Which is correct please?**
A: I have been buying this rice for a couple of years and all the packets have contained just wholegrain risotto rice. No idea why the description should say it is a mix.

**Q: The pack size on this listing says it is 100 kilograms! That can't be right, but is it 1Kg or 500gm for £5.35?**
A: The pack I have is 500 g. I cant remember how much I paid for it  but I think I bought 2 packs for  just over £10  so that sounds about right .

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Soak before use
*by S***Y on 26 April 2022*

I love this rice. It is wholesome and nutty in flavour. I make a family paella a couple of times a year and it is an important ingredient for this get together. I did a dress rehearsal cooking with it because these things need to be right on the day. I therefore suggest soaking for up to 6 hours before cooking, this brings the cooking time closer to non brown Arborio. Treat the ingredient right and get a perfect and wholesome dish.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pleasantly surprised
*by K***N on 14 August 2020*

I was really worried after reading the other reviews that this was going to come with insects inside, but checked very carefully on arrival and all the bags were fine. Haven't had to soak overnight either, just cooked longer than I would white risotto rice. Like brown rice it'll never be as soft or quite the same as white rice but it's delicious if you like the wholegrain taste and much healthier if you're looking to increase wholegrain intake. We're already almost out, so will be reordering regularly.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Healthy  Option
*by R***S on 11 June 2024*

Not creamy as white rice but still good
