Wild RiceSunWest Wild & Specialty Rice

SunWest ventured into the Wild Rice market in 1986 and quickly became a principle player in the North American Wild Rice Industry. Since the introduction of SunWest Wild Rice, we have added a full line of specialty rices and continue to develop new products. The majority of our rices are grown in Northern California's beautiful and abuntant rice growing area. SunWest Foods has created several rice pilafs and blends which incorporate the specialty rices below.

Wild Rice

We have all natural wild rice from California, and Canadian Lake Rice (Jumbo) in a variety of cooking time and package sizes.

Wild Rice ranges in length from 3/8 inches to 3/4 inches and cooking times vary from 25-45 minutes. After cooking, the wild rice kernel splits showing the white interior. It's mild taste and is a wonderful complement to stuffings, salads and various other dishes.

Specialty Rices

Basmati Rice has been a staple cusine for hundreds of years in India. It is aged for a year in order to bring out its nutty aroma and taste. We also grow a Californian version which compares favorably to its Indian cousin but at a substantial savings to the customer.

Jasmine Rice is a traditional Thai long grain and is very aromatic.

Arborio rices are a mainstay in Italy and other Mediterranean countries. When cooked, Arborio has a creamy texture found in risottos and works well in paella. SunWest Foods also has a Californian grown Arborio type rice available.

Cal Mochi is the main rice used to create Asian desserts and is also a wonderful component in rice blends.

SunWest also is proud to have several wonderful types of colored rice. Our Long Grain Aromatic Red Rice has a beautiful russet color and a firm, almost crunchy texture.

Our Black Japonica is a short grain rice with a firm texture and a musky aroma. It is often combined with other rices as a side dish or a replacement to other rice in our favorite recipes.
