Premium organic rice in 90 seconds? Say less. Ready to heat and eat on busy days or lazy days (we won’t judge) and made with only 2 ingredients. Rice & water. That’s it. Because “I love oils, lecithin, and preservatives,” said no one ever. Plus:
Coming soon: We are working hard to bring you custom statements for why we recommend each product on our website. For now, please see our general statement and product criteria page.

FYI: We are currently establishing a way to list non-certified products with transparency about the farm's regenerative practices.
OUR REGENERATIVE ROOTS
At Lundberg, we’ve always believed in caring for our land and the creatures who live on it. For decades, we've been growing rice in support of our generations-old founding principle to leave the land better than we found it. Not only by farming organically without herbicides but by going the extra mile to prioritize the health of our soil and support the ecosystem in and around our rice fields.
THIS IS ONLY THE BEGINNING!
We’ve set a goal to certify all the organic rice we grow as Regenerative Organic Certified® by 2027! As some of the OGs of the organic movement, we participated in the development of organic standards. We believe that, similarly, the development of regenerative organic standards will help hold the industry accountable. So, we’re also working closely with the Regenerative Organic Alliance to help develop regenerative organic standards for California-grown rice. Together, we can raise the standards and keep growing together - for generations to come!
"Leave the land better than you found it."

Regenerative Organic Certified® is a revolutionary new certification for food, apparel, and personal care ingredients. Regenerative Organic Certified® farms and products meet the highest standards in the world for soil health, animal welfare, and farmworker fairness.
With regenerative organic agriculture, we can rehabilitate soil, respect animal welfare, and improve the lives of farmers. We can sequester carbon, build healthier communities, and reap more nutritious and abundant yields.
In practice, regenerative organic agriculture can look like cover cropping, crop rotation, low- to no-till, compost, and zero use of persistent chemical pesticides and fertilizers.
All Regenerative Organic Certified® products and farms must also meet the requirements of the USDA Organic Certification.
The USDA organic regulations describe organic agriculture as the application of a set of cultural, biological, and mechanical practices that support the cycling of on-farm resources, promote ecological balance, and conserve biodiversity. These include maintaining or enhancing soil and water quality; conserving wetlands, woodlands, and wildlife; and avoiding the use of synthetic fertilizers, sewage sludge, irradiation, and genetic engineering.
Organic producers use natural processes and materials when developing farming systems—these contribute to soil, crop, and livestock nutrition, pest and weed management, attainment of production goals, and conservation of biological diversity.
Non-GMO means a product was produced without genetic engineering and its ingredients are not derived from GMOs. Non-GMO Project Verified additionally means that a product is compliant with the Non-GMO Project Standard, which includes stringent provisions for testing, traceability, and segregation. Only Non-GMO Project Verified products are allowed to use the verification mark. Importantly, the mark includes the Project’s URL, where consumers can look up the Standard to better understand what it means.
A verified non-GMO system supports organic and regenerative agriculture by reducing contamination pressure and protecting the supply of non-GMO seed.
When you see our Fair Trade Certified label on a product, you can trust that it was made according to rigorous standards that protect the livelihoods of farmers, fishers, and other producer communities and the environment.
We want to make sure that all products listed here align with our community's values. We do our best, but need help from you if you feel that there is something that we should be aware of about their regen ag practices, sources, supply chains, etc.
