BAMBOO RICE
Our Bamboo rice is an all-natural, short-grain Asian white rice that has been infused with bamboo juice, giving it extra moisture, a slight jasmine green tea taste and a gorgeous jade green color. After it is cooked, bamboo rice is usually moist and sticky, but still light and fluffy, making it a perfect choice for sushi as well as risotto and dessert puddings. While rice is often an unnoticed part of a meal, this exotic, hard-to-find rice takes center stage because of its striking, bright green color, fragrant aroma and delicate, herbal taste. One cup dry yields 2 cups cooked.

GLI’AIRONI, FOG SMOKED CARNAROLI RICE
Carnaroli is considered the “king of rices” it Italy, for its superior texture, large grains, and sweet flavor. FOG Smoked Carnaroli by Gli Aironi is smoked with cherry wood for 14 hours resulting in a rice with soft woody notes. Use in classic risotto recipes for a delicately smokey flavor, or simply boil in salted water, drizzle with extra virgin olive oil, and serve with meat, fish or vegetables.
For the past five generations, Gli Aironi has focused on improving farming conditions in the Vercelli region of northern Italy, implementing less invasive agriculture and restoring the local ecosystem. Their rice is minimally processed, retaining part of the germ where protein and vitamins A, D, E, and K are present. This is impossible with industrial processing methods, which cannot guarantee the retention of nutrients. The company constantly seeks perfection, assisted by food scientist Michele Perinotti, and has led international chefs (including Jamie Oliver) to choose Gli Aironi rice.
