What You Should Know

You'd spot a large bag of BOTAN CALROSE rice on pantry shelves or a grocery aisle, handy for family dinners, batch cooking, or keeping for emergencies. It feels comforting and practical—nostalgic for simple home-cooked meals like stir-fries, rice bowls, and holiday spreads. With an ingredient list of only "milled rice," it's not ultraprocessed: milling/polishing is minimal processing that produces a soft, starchy texture and long shelf life without additives (NOVA 1).
