Certified Organic Whole Grain Brown Kokuho Rose®
Whole grain rice with bran layer intact, our "genmai" (Japanese for brown rice) is complex and subtly nutty. More substantial in tooth than our friction milled white rice, brown Kokuho Rose is a fresh alternative with slightly elevated fiber and nutritional content. Less than 2% broken kernels.* Certified Organic (CCOF - California Certified Organic Farmers), certified Kosher (KSA), GMO-free (Non-GMO Project Verified), Gluten free. Pure, unadulterated rice — no additives of any sort.
Package formats: 1lb, 5 lbs, 10 lbs, 15 lbs, & 50 lbs
Unlike modern varieties, proprietary Kokuho Rose is a true heirloom, possessing hallmarks antithetical to those prioritized in industrial scale farming. In essence, Kokuho Rose is slow to mature, low in yield and tall in stature – characteristics adding significant effort to its production. Preserving this unique strain of rice requires a three year commitment merely to produce the seed, which we fulfill by maintaining our on site, private seed nurseries. A perfect expression of the land it bred to thrive upon, we consider our rice to be "au terroir".
* USDA industry standards allow up to 4% broken kernels.
