Better For You
Delicious and nutritious Jade Pearl Rice™ is an organically grown sushi-style rice infused with wild-crafted bamboo extract made from the Moso bamboo species that flourishes in the virgin forests of Changde, China. Bamboo extract is a rich source of chlorophyll and an up-and-coming superfood. When cooked, Jade Pearl Rice™ produces the aroma of a bamboo forest, a light vanilla taste, and an explosion of health-giving nutrients.
Better For People
Lotis Foods’ rice is grown on family farms in northeast China. Organic methods help preserve the region’s fertile soils. The bamboo extract is infused into the rice in artisanal batches, guaranteeing better control and superior quality.
Better For the Planet
Lotus Foods is ramping up their commitment to support farmers who are adopting practices that go beyond organic. Using the System of Rice Intensification or SRI, they can improve their yields and incomes with less water, seed and agrochemicals. Look for the More Crop Per Drop icon on the front of the retail bags that has been grown using water-saving SRI practices.
Preparation
Do not rinse. Combine 1½ cups of water, 1 cup rice and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over high heat. Cover, reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes. Remove from heat. Let stand covered for a few minutes. Fluff and serve.
A rice cooker may be used with the same water-to-rice ratio.
