Lotus Foods
Richmond, CA

In 1995, we began importing black rice, calling it Forbidden Rice® after the Forbidden City, the Chinese Imperial palace. We wanted to share our love affair with heirloom rice with American consumers. If they loved the exciting colors and tastes of rice from around the world as much as we did, we could help preserve rice biodiversity, increase farm incomes, and improve sustainability. It worked! Today, our supplier community brings you the highest quality organic rice and rice noodles, while promoting human and environmental welfare.
