Lotus Foods Rice Review and Giveaway

This is a review and giveaway for Lotus Foods Rice. Lotus Foods Rice is organic and gluten-free.

Lotus Foods sent me six different varieties of their rice to try out.

Volcano Rice from Indonesia

Forbidden Rice from China

Jade Pearl Rice from China

Bhutanese Red Rice from Bhutan

Madagascar Pink Rice from Madagascar

Mekong Flower Rice from Cambodia

When Lotus Foods contacted me about trying out their rice, I said sure I would love to try them out. But I did not know that they were from other countries until I got them in the mail. I was pleasantly surprised. All the rice tasted so good. My favorite is the Volcano Rice. I used the Volcano rice in on of dinner recipes, Baked Pork Chop Dinner. The dinner turned out great and we loved the rice. All in all the rice is very good and easy to cook. I give Lotus Foods 4 stars out 5.

This is what Lotus Foods says about their company.

Easily digested, rice is a wholesome component of a balanced diet. For those with Celiac Disease, rice is an important staple. But eating plain brown or white rice – especially of the commodity varieties – day after day can grow tiresome. We offer a world of rice that will delight the senses with their array of unique colors, textures and flavors. We have a rice for every occasion. And there are no hidden ingredients in any of our rices. When you purchase a bag of Lotus Foods rice, that’s what you get. A bag of raw rice. Nothing else.

For those seeking a gluten or wheat free diet, our rices are a valuable source of vitamins, minerals, dietary fiber and antioxidants. For variety and an added nutritional punch, try our whole grain black, red, brown and pink rices, which are an even better source of potent antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and fiber.

Since 1995, we have pioneered the introduction of exotic rice handcrafted on small family farms in remote areas of the world such as Bhutan, Bangladesh, and China, into the US market. Each rice varietal is distinguished by its terroir* and treasured for its distinctive cooking quality, taste, texture, aroma, color, and nutritional value.

We founded Lotus Foods with the intent and vision to support sustainable global agriculture by promoting production of traditional heirloom rice varieties, many of which may otherwise have become extinct, while enabling the small family rice farmer to earn an honorable living. We are the only US-based company with the unique vision and commitment to seek out small family rice farmers in developing countries and provide them a means of economic support through access to a global and sustainable marketplace economy.

You can purchase Lotus Foods Rice on their Website, Lotus Foods and on Amazon. Also keep an eye out for it at your local natural food stores. Check out Lotus Foods website, they have a vast of information.
