Living Tree Community Foods raw, alive and organic medium grain white rice is grown in the northwest corner of California's upper Sacramento Valley- the foothills of the Cascade mountain range provide soil that is deep and fertile. The rice is always stored with the protective outer husk. It is only milled when there are orders to fill, so our rice is as fresh as possible.
This flavorful rice is grown by the Polit family. They established their farm in 1983. In addition to rice, they grow olives. They mill the olives on the farm into a delicious olive oil. We call it California Family Olive Oil. Imagine sitting down to dinner featuring rice and olive oil created by the same California farming family. Alive and organic of course!
The water shed of the Shasta Trinity Alps brings water that is clean, cool, and pure. Our rice is allowed to dry naturally in the field to approximately 18% moisture. This allows the kernels on the plant to ripen and mature so there are fewer green and immature kernels.
This Organic, Medium-Grain, White Rice is milled fresh to order, which means it cooks in about 15-20 minutes.
The rice kernel is almost round, cooked grains cling together.
