Whole long-grain rice

How to identify whole long-grain rice?

Whole long-grain rice is recognized by its elongated brown grains, covered in their bran, a thin layer rich in fiber and essential nutrients. During processing, this rice is stripped of inedible layers, allowing it to retain its germ and bran, which are sources of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. This rice is known for its aroma and nutritional value. However, it requires a longer cooking time compared to rice that has been partially or fully stripped of its outer layers.

Camargue whole long-grain rice

Camargue rice is cultivated in a unique terroir, which itself carries an unparalleled aromatic power. Camargue whole long-grain rice allows you to fully appreciate its complexity.

This Camargue rice is not just defined by its geographic origin. It is a Protected Geographical Indication (PGI), guaranteeing that this rice is the product of a specific and preserved ecosystem. PGI agricultural products are recognized for their strong connection to their terroir.

In Camargue, a protected wetland area designated as a Regional Natural Park, rice fields thrive thanks to ideal conditions: rich soil, fresh water from the Rhône mixed with the salty influences of the Mediterranean, and a sunny climate.
