Calrose Medium Grain Rice

Calrose is a medium-grain white rice variety developed in California. It is a type of rice that is commonly used in cooking and food production. Like other rice varieties, it is grown in paddies and processed to remove the hull, bran, and germ.

Calrose rice is often used in packaged foods because of its texture and ability to absorb flavors. It is frequently found in rice dishes, side dishes, and some processed meals. It serves as a carbohydrate base and can also help with the texture of food products.

Calrose rice is a staple food and is generally recognized as safe by the FDA. It is a source of carbohydrates and provides some B vitamins and minerals, especially when enriched. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated rice and its components, generally considering it safe for consumption. No specific health concerns are typically associated with moderate consumption of rice.
