Market Overview:

The Calrose Rice Market encompasses the entire lifecycle of Calrose rice production from farming to processing and distribution and consumption of this medium-grain rice variety which California developed first. The soft texture and mild flavor of Calrose rice makes it an ideal choice for preparing Asian and Mediterranean dishes. The cooked form of Calrose rice becomes slightly sticky which allows it to soak up flavors perfectly thus making it the preferred choice for sushi and stir-fry and pilaf recipes.
