Round medium-grain rice with short texture, beautiful glossy appearance. Becomes slightly soft and sticky when cooked — ideal for sushi, soups and salads.
Calrose rice is a medium-grain variety originally developed in California but now widely cultivated in Vietnam, prized for its soft texture, slight stickiness when cooked, and versatility across Asian and Western cuisines. VinFruits Global exports premium Vietnamese Calrose rice to food importers, restaurant distributors, and rice brands serving Japanese, Korean, and fusion food markets.
About the Product
Calrose rice grains are short to medium length (average 5.4mm), with a higher moisture retention profile that produces a tender, slightly cohesive cooked texture. Unlike long grain rice, Calrose grains cling lightly together, making them ideal for dishes where texture and presentation matter. Vietnamese-grown Calrose achieves comparable quality to American Calrose at competitive export pricing, making it an attractive alternative for buyers seeking cost-effective sushi-grade medium grain rice.
Applications
Calrose rice is widely used for sushi (a popular choice at casual dining sushi restaurants), Korean bibimbap and kimbap, Hawaiian-style poke bowls, Japanese bento lunches, Asian salads, and soups. Its mild flavour and slightly sticky texture make it a versatile option for both Asian and fusion cuisines. It is also used by meal kit companies and food service operators seeking a premium medium-grain rice option.
Packaging material: PP/BOPP/PA/PE. OEM and private-label packaging available.
