What makes our Red Rice special?

Flavour

Its particularly earthy aroma makes our red rice a real delicacy. The strong wholegrain flavour goes perfectly with salads or rice pans. Red rice adds visual and aromatic elements to fish, meat and vegetable dishes. Makes for truly creative cooking!

Grain

Uncooked, red rice grains are long, up to 7mm in length. The unique red colouring is from the earthen clay in which it is cultivated.

Consistency

The red rice is quite loose and has got a solid bite, typical of wholegrain rice. It complements each dish with a delicious, creative twist. Ciao, boring rice!

Origin

Our red rice is grown under the best organic conditions in Piedmont, Italy. The clay soil in which the rice is grown gives it its famous colour.

Did you know?

Red rice is a speciality especially popular with French chefs. It is cultivated in the Camargue in France, but it can also be grown in Italy. The taste of red Camargue rice reminds you of natural wild rice with a nutty note.

In the French Camargue, the acreage is very limited, so only small quantities of red rice can be grown annually.

In order to provide you with the experience of red rice, we have decided to work with a family-run farm in Italy. That's why you get our wholegrain, organic Rosso Integrale from Piedmont, where it is grown with organic methods.

Red rice is not only a delicious delicacy, but it also enhances every dish visually. Whether pure or mixed with other rice varieties, this rice is definitely an eye-catcher and a gourmet experience!

What gives Red Rice its colour?

Red rice gets its colour from the clay soil in which it is grown. This colours the outer skin of the rice grains with the colour of the clay.

Since the red colour does not penetrate the grain and is therefore limited only to the outer skin, true red rice only exists in unrefined wholegrain form.

Nutrition Profile

Our Organic-Rosso Integrale belongs to the wholegrain rice varieties and is rich in nutrients like minerals, vitamins and polyunsaturated fatty acids.

Whole grain rice is more nutritious than peeled rice, as it is not polished and retains the "silver skin.” This preserves the nutrients and makes the rice even more nutritious.

Cooking Tips

Tip #1: Simmer for 40 minutes

With its whole grain and earthy aroma, red rice is a true delicacy and is also versatile. After washing the rice twice, you should let it soak for 10 minutes. Boil with 2.5 times the amount of water to rice, at medium heat for about 40 minutes with the lid closed.

Tip #2: Perfect for a Thai curry
The finished rice can be used in a wide variety of dishes. Try a colourful rice salad! We also recommend red rice in stuffed peppers or Thai curry.
