4) White Rice
a. For centuries, rice has been a staple in many diets for over half the world’s population. It has very high nutritional and health benefits that cannot be so easily replaced by any other grain in the world. Over the years, there have been many new species and varieties of rice developed in the global arena. However, Thai long grain white rice has stood the test of time and still, today, remains one of the most consumed species of rice. It is cultivated in the water abundant central region of Thailand.
5) Parboiled Rice
a. Parboiled rice or converted rice has been consumed for centuries before the age of industrialization and modern technology as the parboiling process makes the hull easier to remove by hand. Parboiled rice is produced by soaking paddy in water, then steaming the paddy which helps kill unwanted bacteria and microbes before drying and milling. The yellow or amber hue of the rice is a direct result of the pigment of the hull and bran being absorbed into the grain itself.

a. Glutinous rice or sticky rice is one of the hallmarks of Thai cooking. This strain is commonly called Kiaw Ngu in the local market. Easily identifiable by its milky grain texture, this grain can be used in both conventional meals as well as desserts. It finds its roots in the North and Northeast of Thailand where the locals prefer sticky rice over the popular long grain white rice. A favorite of tourists in Thailand is mango sticky rice. Our sourcing emphasizes whole grains and sourcing from the north of Thailand. The soil’s special attributes and high-altitudelocation make for a longer lasting stickiness. This variety is harvested once per year.
