SunRice has launched two new rice variants created in collaboration with farming families in Tropical North Queensland.

 

The new products, The new SunRice Jasmine Fragrant Rain Fed Rice and Brown Wholegrain Rain Fed Rice, prominently feature Tully, the region from which they were sourced, on the pack.

 

The rice is grown by several farming families located near Tully, a region with rich, nutritious soil and fresh natural rainwater, resulting in a highly fragrant and super soft rice, according to SunRice.

 

“Tropical North Queensland is home to World Heritage listed sites and unparalleled luscious landscapes, and it’s here that SunRice’s new Rain Fed Rice is grown,” SunRice general manager, David Keldie says.

 

“It’s a pristine environment that produces beautifully fragrant and soft grains, a pure and healthy taste of paradise. We’re so pleased to be partnering with the region’s farmers to grow a delicious and versatile rice that’s perfect for adding a dash of something special to Australians’ cooking.”

SunRice’s Rain Fed Rice is now available in Woolworths and IGA stores nationally.
