Lundberg Family Farms Eco-Farmed Short Grain Brown Rice, Packaging May Vary, 400 Ounce (Pack of 1)

My wife and I just got a heavy metals blood test. My wife's arsenic levels were extremely high. Very concerning. Mine were not. The only difference is, is that she eats this rice (I don't eat grains). Otherwise, we eat extremely healthy, have a whole house air purifier, and reverse osmosis water filter.We did a little digging and this company got in trouble in the past for their arsenic levels. I should have known .. how can they sell their rice at such competitive prices.Buyer beware!! Arsenic is the "slow death" mineral and will slowly destroy your organs.

This is really good black rice. It is very nutty, rich, slightly chewy, and black as night. It is US grown, organic, and very high in anthocyanins (the health promoting component of black rice, blueberries, etc). The taste is just as good or better than Lotus Foods "Forbidden Rice" and this is not only a better price but grown in California as opposed to China. The actual grains of rice are slightly less black than Lotus Foods rice, which would indicate a slightly lower anthocyanin content, but it is not a big difference at all, so overall I find this product preferable.My usual water:rice ratio is a bit different than what the package states. I use a 2:1 ratio, so 2 cups of water per 1 cup dry black rice (and I use the "brown rice" setting on my rice cooker). I find that this produces a very nice texture and flavor. I've found that if you follow the bag instructions exactly, the rice is too firm and dry. 2:1 ratio is the way to go.

If you're reading this, likely you're already are a rice lover and this rice won't disappoint. Unlike other imported dry food which don't always follow the healthy guidelines. This rice is grown here in the U.S. and it is one of the healthiest choice you can make.Yes, I know most things healthy are tasteless, but Lindbergh wild blend rice smells and taste great.It is called wild blend because it is mixed with "wild rice" which taste amazing and it's so expensive! (If you are buying it alone) But with this particular wild blend, it has some of the "wild rice" mixed with it, enough that you can see and taste it. Good stuff, which adds to the health benefits. Plus the cooking time isn't too long like other organic rice. We see all the food shortage lately, it's time to buy and support local and national farms and farmers while getting all the benefits of a tasty rice. Great flavor, versatile and a great value.

We've eaten over a hundred pounds of this rice and were willing to pay the price increases. It was the best long-grain brown we had found and the "Organic" label was a plus. Then this last 25 pound bag showed up. There were so many bugs in it that we could almost make a side dish of them. It's no exaggeration to say that there were up to 20 per pound. We washed and washed it, reading on the web that even if we missed a few they were a good source of protein (wry smile). Finally dumped out the rest when a half hour washing didn't evict all the little buggers from their edible home. The bugs, and the questionable ethics of calling non-organically grown product "Eco-Farm" tells me Lundberg's leadership is off the tracks. We'll look for a company that delivers on its promise.

Lundberg has the best quality rice I have tried, a go to option when it comes to my pantry. The wild rice blend packs tons of flavor, earthy, nutty, complex and almost overpowering. I love it mostly for salads or with a protein with mild flavor (chicken, white fish), since the rice such strong full-bodied aroma.The bag contains a fairly balanced mix of brown, red, black and wild rice, but the most quantity is of the long grain brown rice.The wild rice will 'pop', but otherwise the rice blend keeps a chewy firm texture once cooked. I really like the bite it has. It's a rice that's great both hot and cold. Personally I prefer cooking the rice 40 minutes, rather than 45 (as instructed).The bag has a re-closable velcro press-lok, but I still prefer transferring the rice to an airtight container.I also like that the brand partnered with Terracycle, so I can send all my empty bags to be recycled.

For the last half century, since a graduate student in architecture at UC Berkeley, we have eaten Lundberg's organic short grain brown rice. Up until a handful of years ago, the price was about 20 dollars for twenty pounds.Then the CA drought, prices tripled, then dropped down to doubled at about 24. dollars for twelve pounds.w/ this covid-19, the organic short grain brown rice shot up to astronomical prices, so we ordered this Lundberg eco-farm short grain brown rice.not good. eco-farm, a disappointment. the kernal itself is not the moist plush kernal of organic brown rice. it's sort of dry and crusty without the luxiouriousness of of the organic short grain brown rice flavour.a disappointment. paid a bundle for this bag, and the price is just shooting up higher than ever.Suggest splurge the few dollars more and get Lundberg's prized organic short rain brown rice ... a world of difference.wish we could return this bag of inedible instead. the dregs are this eco farmed...

Love the slightly nutty taste and texture of this black pearl rice for both savory and sweet preparations. Texture is more similar to brown rice than say Calrose or short-grain white rice. Definitely not to be confused with long-grain wild rice. It’s also loaded with more nutrients and benefits than other types of rice. This brand is organic and American-grown up North in the Sacramento Valley which was a huge purchasing factor for me. Re-sealable Velcro closure on bag is also convenient.Cooked the rice in my Zojirushi rice cooker with chopped up shiitakes and using the reserved water the shiitakes were reconstituted in and then served alongside Gojuchang roasted cauliflower “wings” for a bomb Korean-inspired veggie dinner last night. Looking forward to using this organic black rice in dishes where I would typically use white rice. Black rice sushi is next! Highly recommend.

Excellent product

Lundberg Organi Short Grain Brown Rice, 11.3 kg I'm not sure why these is the word Organi in the rice description...my bad, I thought the product was organic and was excited about the price...but I read it wrong, it is not organic, so not such a great price after all. The rice itself is fine but it feels that the description is rather misleading. Lundberg Organi Short Grain Brown Rice, 11.3 kg

I bought two large bags of this rice...went to repackage it for storage and found it’s completely infested with bugs!! I’m not talking ‘just a few bugs’, it’s infested with them!! I will not ever buy dry goods from Amazon again! Disgusting!!

Great product however Costco sells larger bag at 4 pounds for much much less! I was disappointed to learn seller sold this small bag at such a high price.

I bought a few times of this organic rice in SMALL package from supermarket and I like it.This BIG package is NOT as good as I expected.Compared to the small packages, the colour is DARKER and not crystal, the smell is a little bit ODD before cooking, and after cooking, it does nothave the aroma that the fresh sushi rice should have. According to my knowledge and experience, the rice is not stored in a proper way or condition.
