About Red cargo rice

Red cargo rice is a whole-grain rice sold with its reddish-brown bran layer retained. The dry grains are generally elongated and reddish in colour; cooked rice has a chewy texture and a nutty, earthy flavour. “Cargo” commonly describes an unpolished rice form, but grain variety, milling, and cooking characteristics can vary by source.

It is usually rinsed and cooked as a grain side or base for meals, and may require more water or cooking time than polished white rice. It is sold dry, and can be whole-grain or partially milled depending on processing. Nutrition comparisons should distinguish dry uncooked rice from cooked rice and note whether the bran layer has been retained or removed.
