What makes our rice different
Organic certification & farming practices
Every bag of Nature’s Promise rice carries USDA Organic certification, meaning the grains are grown without synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or genetically modified organisms. Our partner farms use crop rotation, cover cropping, and integrated pest management to maintain soil fertility and biodiversity.
We audit our supply chain annually to verify compliance with organic standards. From seed selection to harvest, our growers follow practices that prioritize environmental stewardship. Water management systems minimize waste, and many farms employ beneficial insects to control pests naturally, reducing the need for any interventions.
Cooking instructions & prep tips
For white basmati, rinse one cup of rice under cold water until the water runs clear, then combine with 1.5 cups of water in a pot. Bring to a boil, reduce to low heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand covered for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.
Brown jasmine rice requires a longer cook time due to the intact bran layer. Use a 1:2.25 rice-to-water ratio, bring to a boil, then simmer covered for 40–45 minutes. Let it rest off heat for 10 minutes to finish steaming. The result is a chewy, nutty grain with distinct floral notes.
Nutritional profile & dietary fit
Nature’s Promise rice varieties are naturally gluten-free, making them suitable for celiac diets and gluten sensitivities. Brown rice options provide approximately 3.5 grams of fiber per cooked cup, along with B vitamins, magnesium, and selenium that are reduced during the milling process for white rice.
White basmati and arborio offer quick energy from easily digestible carbohydrates, with lower fiber but faster cooking times. All our rice is vegan, contains no added sodium, and fits into paleo-adjacent or Whole30-compliant meal plans when paired with compliant proteins and vegetables.

Common questions about Nature's Promise rice
Yes, all Nature's Promise rice varieties carry USDA Organic certification and are Non-GMO Project Verified. This means the grains are grown without synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or genetically modified organisms, and our supply chain is audited annually to maintain these standards.
Organic certification also ensures that the soil and water used in cultivation meet strict environmental criteria, supporting sustainable agriculture practices from seed to harvest.
White basmati is a long-grain rice that has been milled to remove the bran and germ layers, resulting in a lighter texture and faster cooking time of about 15 minutes. It offers a nutty, aromatic fragrance and fluffy grains that stay separate when cooked.
Brown jasmine rice retains the bran and germ, providing more fiber, vitamins, and minerals. It has a chewy texture and takes 40–45 minutes to cook. The jasmine variety contributes a subtle floral aroma, while the whole-grain structure delivers a nuttier, more complex flavor than white rice.
Transfer opened rice to an airtight container and store in a cool, dry pantry away from direct sunlight. White rice varieties remain fresh for 12–18 months at room temperature.
Brown rice contains natural oils that can oxidize, so refrigerator or freezer storage extends shelf life to 6–12 months after opening. Always check for any off odors or signs of moisture before cooking.
Absolutely. While arborio is designed for risotto due to its high starch content, it also works well in rice pudding, arancini, paella, and creamy rice soups. The short, plump grains absorb liquid slowly and release starch, creating a naturally creamy texture in any application that benefits from a thicker consistency.
Some home cooks use arborio in stuffed peppers or casseroles where a slightly sticky rice helps bind ingredients together.
Yes, all rice is naturally gluten-free, and Nature's Promise rice varieties are certified gluten-free. They are safe for individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivities, provided they are prepared in a kitchen free from cross-contamination with gluten-containing grains.
Our packaging and processing facilities follow protocols to prevent contact with wheat, barley, or rye, ensuring the integrity of the gluten-free claim.
For white basmati, use 1.5 cups of water per cup of rice. For brown jasmine, increase to 2.25 cups of water per cup of rice to account for the longer cooking time and intact bran layer.
Arborio rice for risotto does not follow a fixed ratio; instead, add warm broth one ladle at a time, stirring constantly until each addition is absorbed. This gradual method typically requires 3–4 cups of liquid per cup of rice over 18–20 minutes.
We partner with certified organic farms in the United States and select international regions known for high-quality rice cultivation, including India for basmati and Italy for arborio. Each farm undergoes annual audits to verify compliance with USDA Organic standards and our own sustainability criteria.
Our sourcing agreements prioritize fair labor practices, water conservation, and soil health, ensuring that every harvest supports both environmental stewardship and the livelihoods of farming communities.
