Better For You
This long grain Red Rice is 100% whole grain which means it retains all of its wholesome bran layer, where the grain’s nutrients are stored. It cooks in only 30 minutes, producing toothsome yet tender and slightly aromatic grains. Add more color, taste and nutrition to all your favorite rice dishes.
Better For People
Sourced from families farming around Lake Alaotra, Madagascar’s major inland lake. The price premiums translate directly into more income, better health and brighter prospects for these families.
Better For The Planet
Flooding rice fields consumes up to 1/3 of the earth’s annual freshwater supplies. System of Rice Intensification (SRI) practices are used which require a lot less water and seeds to produce what is called, More Crop Per Drop™. And drained fields emit little or not methane. Lotus Foods takes rice production beyond organic!
Preparation
Combine 1¾ cups water, 1 cup rice and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over high heat. Cover, reduce heat and simmer for 30 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. 1 cup raw rice yields 3 cups cooked rice
Use in any rice dish or cuisine, from savory to sweet. Great for pilafs, puddings, salads, soups, stir-fries, and stuffings. Or just enjoy steamed plain with a vegetable, seafood or meat entree.
