California-Grown Jasmine Brown Rice from Japan
California-Grown Jasmine Brown Rice is a husked rice variety developed through selective breeding to mimic Thai Jasmine characteristics, with grains retaining their bran.

The long-grain profile and intact bran make it suitable for various culinary uses.
