What is the origin of the rice you use. It says Made in USA, but is it "grown" in California or China??

I bought this product only once and at the time the question was not on my mind, so I don't know. Is a good question for the supplier.

The one I bought was made in California. That was a couple years ago and I ordered direct from them. You can't do that anymore.

The Black Japonica Rice says "Manufactured and Distributed by Lundberg Family Farms, Richvale, CA." That sure sounds like a field blend from California. It is also "Verified non-GMO," which I doubt would be possible in Japan, and certainly not in China. As for the other brand, I have no idea but would suspect they add chemicals to their rice.

Good question, just look for where it was made, its on the box and the product itself. Its the best rice cooker I have ever owned and I've been using it everyday for years....cooking tip, adjust your water to rice ratio. The line is a good starting point.

If it's helpful, I wrote to Zojirushi about this subject and received a very nice reply listing all models and country of manufacture. I've pasted the list below:Our rice cookers are manufacture in Japan, Thailand, or China. Here is a breakdown of our models and origin. Manufactured in Japan: NP-HBC10/18 NP-KAC10/18 NP-GBC05 NS-ZCC10/18 NS-KCC05 NS-DAC10 Manufactured in China: NS-TGC10/18 NS-WAC10/18 NS-PC10/18 NS-LAC05 Manufactured in Thailand: NS-RNC10/18A NHS-06/10/18

I just confirmed - it's China or Korea. Just got this email from them" 1000mg Chlorella: While previously Taiwanese current country of origin is China or Korea. They are grown in controlled outdoor commercial fresh water ponds. They are processed in their respective countries and packaged here in our Bloomingdale, IL USA facility. I too want to find a source that is not China.

My cooker has a "made in Japan" label on it. I understand that all Tiger rice cookers are made in Japan.

I don't know where that strain was from.- Jon the co-founder has been finding unique strains and helping the villages get enough product to ship- this was the first huge success they had, now they have fields all over and are in mass production of at least 4 strains of rice. I would check on their direct website. you will love every one of the unique types but they are all totally different.

Curious about this item. Do a search for "ingredients in enzymatic processed rice". Phoned Nutribiotic and discovered some of their "organic brown rice" comes from China, some from India, and some of the "enzyme processing" may also occur in China. On a positive note Vitamin Shoppe has a great return policy. Opened items with a receipt maybe exchanged/or store credit. In regards to Nutribiotics I might give "Nutribiotic 100% US Grown Rice Protein, Vanilla 1 lb. 5 oz (600 g) a test when or if it becomes available in my local store. I am not a fan of ordering products I have not previously used from Amazon due to s/h in the rare instance of cases such as these. Curious about this item.

I understand that the the seed originates in Japan. I do believe that the Lundberg Farm grows the rice, though. There is a site www.lundberg.com where you can go and ask a myriad of questions about it, if you prefer.

The last time I researched arsenic in rice I found out that rice grown in Ca had 30% less than other places since they did not plant cotton which is sprayed very heavily with pesticides. I also watched a video on Lundberg rice, very interesting if you are concerned about the arsenic in rice which I am.

The product itself says "Made in the USA". Bloomingdale, IL to be exact. No idea what " Source in china " means though, and I dont see that anywhere on the container.

My bags of medium grain brown rice say "Product of the USA" and provide Bob's Red Mill Oregon address. There's no mention of where in the U.S. the rice is grown or processed.
