Lundberg Rice Brwn Long Org 32 OZ

This is a tasty and high quality long grain brown rice. I cook it in my rice cooker, and it turns out great every time. Buying it through Amazon makes it a bit more affordable too. I recommend all Lundberg brand rices, and this one is no exception!

I've been eating this Lundberg Brown Rice almost every night for more than a decade. I usually eat beans with it - lentils mostly, my own version of dahl. Sometimes I cook up a pot of vegetable stew and freeze it in small containers and use that with the rice. I drizzle a little olive oil over the rice, then add some cilantro, a little bit of seasoning, and some fresh Calabacita Squash (Mexican zucchini). One bag of rice gives me about 24 servings (which I keep in the freezer) so I have enough dinners for almost a month. It is so convenient and so good... I'd give it 10 stars if I could.

Delicious. So much better than the dust musty arsenic laden store brand brown rice I was using.

Quality brown rice.

Great organic rice for the price

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.

This is an excellent product, exactly what we were looking for in terms of flavor, food value, and preparation.

After researching healthy foods we can feel good about eating, it turns out that rice grown in CA (vs some southern states and overseas sites) has a very low arsenic levels compared to rice grown elsewhere. As in, you won't need to worry about the levels in this rice at all! I know this sounds like a back-handed complement, but it's important to me. And this rice cooks up well and is tasty so I continue to buy it online rather than shop for it in my local markets. One less thing to worry about in you diet.

Love this rice.Easy to make and delicious. I have purchased this brand twice already.
