Duru Kırık Pirinç is packed for cooks who want a high-quality rice without large grains for dolma and desserts. The producer explains that this broken rice is originally baldo rice, sold as small, broken grains so that it can be used in milk desserts such as sütlaç, and that its centre of production is Gönen in Balıkesir. The ingredient list has a single line, broken rice, and the origin is Türkiye.
Small grains cook soft and release starch, which is exactly what you want for a creamy sütlaç, a thick rice soup, or the filling for stuffed vegetables, cabbage and vine leaves. The producer's instruction is to soak the rice in water for ten minutes before use. For a classic rice pudding, simmer the soaked rice in water until soft, add milk and sugar, and finish in the oven for the golden top.
Keep the 1 kg bag in a cool, dry place away from sunlight, and move the rice to a sealed jar after opening. Duru packs in factories certified to ISO 22000, IFS and BRC and states a shelf life of two years.
