Product Description
Fair Trade. Thailand: Agrarian Surin Cooperative. Fair Trade Certified. Vacuum packed for preserved freshness. Alter Eco Ruby Rice (Khao Deng variety) is an ancient whole grain rice that is as nutritionally charged as it is colorful. Its crunchy texture and earthy flavor are paired with a cocktail of essential proteins and minerals, making it an all-around sustainable choice! It is a rare grain that is found in Surin, a province in the East of Thailand situated along the Cambodian border. Inhabitants of this particular region have long relied on this nutritious rice as a complement to their daily diet. Farmers of the Agrarian Cooperative of Surin cultivate the Alter Eco Red Rice using traditional farming methods that ensure quality and respect for the environment. Chemical fertilizers and pesticides have been replaced with organic fertilizers and natural plant extract to produce this premium quality rice. Alter Eco takes fair trade a step further by supplementing the fair trade minimum revenue paid to farmers with an additional Alter Eco development premium paid to their cooperative. At the Agrarian Cooperative of Surin, this premium, managed by the members, was invested in a factory for the processing and packaging of rice. They can now export directly, no longer having to rely on costly middlemen. In addition, profit from sales is being used to obtain organic certification and provide training programs. Alter Eco Products: Alter Eco offers a complete range of sustainably delicious fair trade products (coffee, tea, rice, quinoa, hearts of palm), the majority of which are organic. This savory rice can be used to liven up any dish. Fair Trade Certified by TransFair USA. Country of Origin: Thailand.

Not quite sure..,

This review is from: Alter Eco Fair Trade Rice, Ruby Red Jasmine, 16-Ounce Pouches (Pack of 8) (Grocery)
This rice had a definite earthy flavor, but it also had a slightly musty undertone, and a slight bitterness. I rinsed it well before cooking. The color was nowhere near ruby, but it was more of a medium dark brown with a reddish or slightly purple blush. I'll eat it, but I won't buy it again. It's too expensive and not special enough to justify the cost. I much prefer Lotus Foods Forbidden rice.
