SunWest
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.
