Sticky rice, also known as pearl or sweet rice, is short and fat, becoming sticky when cooked. This type of rice is ideal for sushi, but we are known to use sticky rice with almost everything because we love it so much.
Koda Farms is situated in the San Joaquin Valley of California, the predominant agricultural producing region in the nation. As the oldest, continuously family-owned and operated rice farm and mill in California, Koda Farms firmly believes its discerning customers appreciate the fact that they oversee all facets of production—from growing and harvesting to milling and packaging.
