The organic brown jasmine rice is aromatic with a butter taste and soft texture. It is produced through Lotus Foods’ partnership with organic cooperative rice farmers located in the provinces of Takeo, Kampong Speu and Kampong Chhnang, Cambodia, who are using More Crop Per Drop™  growing methods.

Generally known as the System of Rice Intensification or SRI, this set of practices enables farmers to grow more rice with less water, seed and labor, especially less labor for women. Because their rice paddies are not permanently flooded, there is little or no emission of methane, a major greenhouse gas that warms the earth. Lotus Foods is the first and only US company to date to work with SRI farmers to help them market their more sustainably grown, high-quality traditional rice.

Cooking Instructions: Stovetop—pour rice into small pan, add 1 tbs. of water and heat on medium till hot, stirring occasionally. Microwave—lift flap to dotted line and microwave for 60-90 seconds until hot. 

Ingredients: brown rice*, water.
