Nice product

With our usual supplier out of this Lundberg Organic Long Grain Rice it was time to turn to Amazon! We have been eating this rice for years and have NEVER had a reason to complain about it. Rice is one of our staple foods so small bags don't last that long. This 12 lbs of rice (6 x 2lbs) comes packed in a Lundberg box. Each bag is resealable which is a handy feature. When we first started cooking brown rice we were always told 1 cup of rice to 2 1/2 cups of water but now I have to admit I just guess. This rice has a firm, non-sticky texture when cooked along with a good flavor. If you want seasoned rice which we do occasionally add your favorite herbs whilst cooking. Turmeric makes the rice a lovely rich yellow whilst providing the consumer with extra nutrients. If you are looking for a healthy grain in your diet (white rice is anything but healthy) give this one a try. I'm pretty sure you won't be disappointed! Thanks, Liz

I'm an environmental health professional, so I'm always interested in relative risk associated with products I consume. When I read that there is a concern of excessive arsenic levels in rice grown throughout the southern states due to rice growing on land that was originally treated with arsenical compounds while in use growing tobacco, I was concerned. Much of the rice found on supermarket shelves is produced by companies in Arkansas and Texas, suggesting that the rice has been grown in the South somewhere. Lundberg Farms is located in the northern central valley, north of Sacramento, CA. I contacted them directly and was informed that they have had their rice products analyzed for a number of environmental contaminants, including arsenic. They provided me with data demonstrating low arsenic levels and low levels of other potential contaminants. That reassured me that they are both cognizant of the potential that environmental toxicants can be present in rice and that they've actually taken some steps toward identifying any that might exist in their products. Since there currently is no Federal requirement to do arsenic testing, it's reassuring that they've done some. I think it's also important to note that, to my knowledge (which is not exhaustive), tobacco growing has never been practiced in Northern California, which suggests that Lundberg Farms is unlikely to experience arsenic contamination. The other thing I've noticed about Lundberg Farms products is how clean they are right out of the package. Rice products from other sources typically contain a fair amount of hulls, discolored rice grains and extraneous material that requires several washings to remove. Although I continue to wash Lundberg products, they do not seem to require the same degree of flushing. This may not be of extreme importance, however it suggests to me that they take greater pains to produce a quality product. I'm unsure how this is accomplished; possibly they employ more efficient equipment to clean it better - called "fanning" if my experience with other grains carries over. In any case, I'm enjoying Lundberg Farms rice products. Their quality after being cooked is consistently great in my experience as well. I certainly concede that there are lower priced alternatives available. I just haven't found one that addresses my concern about environmental contaminants the way Lundberg Farms has. I hope this helps you in your decision.
