Berry Rice: Thailand’s not so secret superfood

Thailand has many rice varieties grown in different parts of the country, but the one that stands out amongst all others is Riceberry. Using years of knowledge from research, Riceberry was crafted to create the harmonious blend of flavor and health benefits.

What is Riceberry?

Riceberry’s signature characteristics originate from crossing two renowned rice strains from Thailand. It was developed by the Kasetsart University Rice Science Center to maximized nutritional values, with the focus on taste and fragrance.
