Wonderful rice. Highly recommend this product!
Driving to and from the Bay area from Seattle, I saw the sign "CHICO RICE" along I-5, decided to look them up. Loved what I saw and so I ordered and Blonde and Brown rice. They are both amazing. Best flavors I have had in a rice!
We are on a subscription plan with the Chico brown Japonica, and there was a glitch in the system so we didn’t get our order before we ran out. So we bought some Whole Foods 365 brown Japonica to last us until our shipment of Chico rice arrived. Well, the new Chico shipment came and we cooked some up and let me tell you: The difference is like night and day. Chico rice is of far greater quality than the 365 brand! Oishii. Thank you.
I usually use cornstarch to thicken soups, stews and sauces. I bought this as it was suggested to use for this purpose and it was wonderful. This will be my new go-to for a thickener.
I made the Blonde rice in my rice cooker. Used 1 c. Rice to about 1 1/2 c. Water. It was perfect. I loved this rice so much that I bought a new rice cooker that has a setting for Brown rice and for White rice. I had a very hard time trying to seal the resealable bag! Is it just me? I'm gonna have to put it in another container as I can't zip the bag closed.
I have tried several brown rices but have never had rice like Chicos.
It cooks perfectly as instructions say.
It is delicious and fluffy.
It is the only rice that I buy since my children turned me on to it.
Brown rice the best I ever had always excellent
Back in '76 was a member of a food coop in New England. We got brown rice from Arkansas. Since then have tried rice from all over the world. Chico Rice's Japonica is hands down the best rice I've ever tasted.
We typically don't use rice flour but when I discovered Chico brown milled rice flour I've been using it frequently. It's great to coat things for frying because it's so light and it doesn't alter the flavor of the food. I've used it for thickening and baking. We really like it.
Your brown rice was delicious and so fresh!
So happy I found out about your product in an article on Word Of Mouth!
Glad to find US grown organic rice, enjoy them in the past a few years. Thank you for your hard work.
We ordered your rice products as we were passing through the area on I-5, we found that your product is very tasty.
Rich, but delicate oils are exuded when cooked! This rice is unlike any other. Love it!
We really enjoyed the Calhikari rice, we love Chico rice!
I love the blonde rice as it cooks faster than the brown rice (i use both, but if pressed for time, i use the blonde rice). In a hurry, i can throw a cup of rice into my rice cooker and have it ready in 20 minutes for any menu that i have going.
Also, the blonde rice does not mess up my metabolism and make me feel bad), like the white rice that i used to buy in the grocery stores. (In my education on rice, i learned that the white rice was highly processed and stripped of good nutrients).
As an aside, i feed the blonde rice to my dog also as i prepare her meals from my kitchen. Once when she was ill, the Vet had me put her on a diet of rice and chicken. And my dog loved it so much that i decided to include the blonde rice in her diet, along with other nutrient dense foods, just because i feel that the blonde rice (California Japonica ) is a healthy food.
Due to auto immune illness I had been off all grains for six months. I started back with rice and your rice is most pleasing to my digestive system and my blood sugar levels. Thank you so much
delicious rice with fast free shipping! Highly recommend
This rice was included in one of my Rancho Gordo Bean Club shipments several months ago, and I immediately came here to buy a 20 lb box. Just ordered my second bulk box. I'm a fan!
TRULY, CALHIKARI IS 'OUT OF THE PAST", WHAT RICE WAS, IN JAPANTOWN

Bulk Box of Milled California Japonica (18 lbs)
Our family love’s sticky rice for many dishes. This rice does it for us. Great texture and flavor!
The 18 pounds of rice fits into five half gallon mason jars, in case anyone wants to know. I vacuum sealed them to help it stay fresh.
Just ordered my first ordered my first order. Of course, the rice is at another level, but there was a glitch with the order (totally my fault). Tom and his son took care it immediately, no hiccups. I look forward to a continued relationship.
