Nayass Ofada Rice is the rich, aromatic local rice West Africans love for Sunday lunches and parties. Its unpolished grains keep their natural bran, giving ofada its signature nutty flavor, earthy aroma and satisfying chew. It's the classic partner for spicy ayamase (green pepper "designer" stew).

Big 4.875 lb pack: enough for many family meals
Labeled 100% organic and dirt and stone free, so it's cleaner and faster to prepare
Unpolished whole grain with the bran left on for more flavor and fiber than white rice
Packed by Nayass Luxury Enterprise, Accra, Ghana

How to cook ofada rice

Rinse the rice in several changes of water until the water runs clearer.
Cover with water and boil for about 10 minutes, then drain and rinse. This parboil step reduces the strong aroma if you prefer it milder.
Return to the pot with about 2 cups of fresh water for every cup of rice and a pinch of salt.
Cook on low heat for 20 to 25 minutes, until tender and the water is absorbed. Add a splash of water if needed.

Traditionally served wrapped in ewe eran leaves with ayamase stew, fried plantain and boiled eggs. Try our Ofada Rice & Ayamase Stew recipe.

Why does ofada smell different? Its distinctive aroma is part of what makes it ofada. Parboiling and rinsing before cooking makes it milder.
