Classic Brown Sant’Andrea – 1 kg

S. Andrea Classic rice is a typical variety from the rice fields of Piedmont, particularly common in the provinces of Vercelli and Biella. It’s a medium-grain rice, highly valued for its versatility, good cooking resistance, and ability to absorb flavors. In its whole grain version, Sant’Andrea becomes a valuable ally in the kitchen for those seeking a healthy and complete diet without sacrificing taste.

It has an elongated shape, with a beautiful amber color and a natural aroma that is best expressed during cooking. The grain remains intact, has a firm consistency, and a more pronounced flavor compared to the refined version: slightly herbaceous or nutty notes, which make it perfect for simple and genuine dishes.

Our S. Andrea rice is obtained exclusively from controlled and certified “CLASSIC” seeds.

To obtain S. Andrea Whole Grain rice, the rice undergoes hulling, which is the process that removes the hull, the inedible outer husk. This is done through a delicate and completely mechanical process, which aims to preserve the grain in its original structure. Unlike white or semi-processed rice, no additional layers are removed: the rice retains the cuticle, pericarp, and germ, the most nutritious parts.

From a nutritional standpoint, S. Andrea Classic Whole Grain rice is a true source of fiber, B vitamins, magnesium, phosphorus, and natural antioxidants, and is recognized as a complete food that provides calories. From a dietary perspective, rice is highly appreciated for its high degree of digestibility.

Choosing Sant’Andrea Whole Grain rice means valuing a historic variety of Italian rice cultivation in its most authentic and nutritious form. A “true” rice that reflects the land it comes from.
