Why Choose Our Organic California Sushi Rice?

Grown in the Ideal Climate

The Sacramento Valley offers the perfect Mediterranean climate for growing premium japonica (short-grain) rice. The warm days and cool nights allow the grains to mature slowly, developing a rich flavor and the perfect "chew" that generic store-bought brands often lack.

Certified Organic & Sustainable

We believe that the best food starts with healthy soil. Our sushi rice is:

• Certified Organic: Grown without synthetic fertilizers or pesticides.
• Non-GMO: Pure, traditional rice genetics.
• Freshly Milled: Sourced directly to ensure it doesn't sit in a warehouse for months before reaching you.

Versatile in the Kitchen

While it shines in sushi, this sticky, starch-rich grain is incredibly versatile. Use it for:

• Sushi & Onigiri: Holds its shape perfectly for rolls and rice balls.
• Poke Bowls: The ideal sticky base to grab onto sauce and toppings.
• Comfort Food: Makes a fantastic substitute for Arborio rice in risotto or a creamy rice pudding dessert.

Getting the texture right is key. Follow these simple steps for sticky, fluffy perfection.

Ingredients

• 1 cup Briden Wilson Farm Organic Sushi Rice
• 1 ¼ cups Cold Water
• Optional: 1 strip Kombu (dried kelp) for umami

Stovetop Method

1. Rinse Thoroughly: Place rice in a bowl and rinse with cool water 3-4 times until the water runs mostly clear. This removes excess starch and prevents gumminess.
2. Soak (Optional but Recommended): Let the rice soak in the cooking water for 20-30 minutes. This helps the grains cook evenly.
3. Boil: Bring water and rice to a boil over medium-high heat.
4. Simmer: Cover with a tight lid, reduce heat to the lowest setting, and simmer for 18-20 minutes. Do not peek!
5. Steam: Remove from heat (keep lid on) and let it steam for another 10 minutes.
6. Fluff: Gently fold the rice with a paddle or fork to release excess moisture.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Is this "new crop" rice?

We pride ourselves on stock rotation. Because we source from local growers, our rice is typically milled much more recently than what you find in big-box stores, ensuring higher moisture content and better flavor.

• Do I need a rice cooker?

While a rice cooker makes it easy, our rice cooks beautifully on the stovetop if you follow the ratio of 1 cup rice to 1.25 cups water.

• Is this rice gluten-free?

Yes! All rice is naturally gluten-free. We take care to handle our products safely, making this a great carbohydrate source for those with gluten sensitivities.
