Where did the Organic Label go?
We know that the “organic” label is looked upon highly in the food industry, but for us at Chico Rice there were several reasons that went into the decision to discontinue the organic certification. The biggest one being that we found the approved organic practices were using significantly more of California’s precious water resources to produce a lower quality rice.
Even though we no longer have the label of “Organic,” we’ll continue to use the best regenerative practices to enhance soil health and benefit the myriad species of wildlife that make our farm home, while also ensuring we are as water efficient as possible.
What's the self life of your Brown Rice Flour?

How do I cook Brown Rice Flour?
You can use brown rice flour for baking by substituting it for wheat flour, often at a 1:1 ratio. When cooking, it's a versatile thickening agent for soups and gravies, a coating for frying, and a base for homemade pasta. Experiment with different recipes, and remember to adjust liquid levels as needed for the desired consistency.
Is Brown Rice Flour healthy?
Brown rice flour is a healthy choice as it retains nutrients like fiber, vitamins, and minerals due to its unrefined nature. It's naturally gluten-free, making it suitable for those with gluten sensitivities, and it offers complex carbohydrates for sustained energy. However, its texture and flavor may differ from white rice flour, requiring recipe adjustments. As part of a balanced diet, brown rice flour can contribute to digestive health and overall nutrition.
Can I substitute Brown Rice Flour for wheat flour in recipes?
Yes, you can substitute brown rice flour for wheat flour in recipes, particularly for gluten-free baking. However, brown rice flour has a different texture and flavor, so blending it with other gluten-free flours and adding binding agents like xanthan gum may be necessary. Be prepared to adjust the liquid content in recipes and be open to some experimentation to achieve the desired results.
