Chinese Southern Belle teamed up with Lotus Foods, a family-owned, certified fair-trade company based in California to promote organically grown, heirloom rice varietals that are “good for you and good for the planet!” Bhutanese red rice and Forbidden black rice tastings were featured at area Whole Foods Markets.
——
The goal was to introduce consumers not only to the diversity of rice types but also to educate them on the health and environmental benefits of eating whole grain rice, supporting small family farmers and using sustainable rice cultivation methods, such as SRI (system of rice intensification).
