Types of CA Rice

Pairing the Perfect Rice

California rice farmers produce hundreds of varieties of medium and short grain rice, each with its own unique characteristics and culinary applications.

We are known for our premium medium and short grain which are moist and sticky and are used in Asian cuisine like sushi as well as Mediterranean dishes such as paella or pilaf. We also grow small quantities of specialty rices like Arborio, Jasmine, Basmati, Calmochi and colored rices like Black and Mahogany Japonica and Red rice.
