Lotus Foods' selection of nutrient-dense and whole grain rices are grown on pristine lands, whose soils are rich in nutrients, making them naturally more healthful than other rices. Traditional and heirloom varietals are naturally more nutritious than high yield varietals. Agricultural methods, such as organic and SRI, that cultivate the quality of the soil enhance the nutritional profile of the rice. Lotus Foods' rices are gluten and wheat free and are rich in vitamins and minerals, as well as antioxidants.
