Parish White Rice – High-Protein Rice with Low Glycemic Index – Locally Grown Long-Grain White Rice – Made in the USA – Rich Nutrient Content – Ideal for Curry, Desserts, Stir-Fry – 2lb Bag

As someone originally from Indonesia, rice has always been more than just a food—it’s been a comfort, a tradition, and a daily staple. Even after living in the United States for over two decades, nothing satisfies me quite like a bowl of rice. However, for almost ten years, I had to give it up due to concerns over my blood glucose levels. Despite trying countless varieties marketed as “healthy” or “low glycemic,” none worked for me—until recently.I had the opportunity to speak with Professor Herry Utomo, F. Avalon Daggett Endowed Professor at Louisiana State University, whose groundbreaking research led to the development of a low glycemic index rice. With cautious optimism, I accepted his kind offer to try a sample of the rice he developed: Parish Rice, which is available on Amazon. To my amazement, it worked. I experienced no significant spike in my glucose levels after eating it—something I hadn’t been able to say for nearly a decade.Thanks to Professor Utomo’s dedication and innovation, I can now enjoy real rice again as part of a balanced diet. This rice is not only a scientific achievement but a life-enhancing gift to those of us who have missed this simple joy for far too long. I couldn’t be more grateful.Thank you, Professor Utomo, for bringing rice back into my life.

Delicious rice - I made a big batch and will then reheat, which will reduce the glycemic load even further.

Rice is absolutely delicious

No idea how they were able to do it. I can't have a lot of rice (doesn't matter if it's white, brown, red) but I can have a full bowl of this and my blood sugar doesn't spike. Amazing!Now if I could only get all the restaurants I order from to use it vs their regular rice, I'd be in heaven.

I write this review as someone who typically cooks with basmati, koshihikari, or jasmine rice, so your impressions may differ. Regarding aroma and flavor this rice is not very different than most generic white rices. I typically rinse rice before cooking to remove excess starch from the kernels, and this rice rinsed clean immediately - perhaps due to the higher protein content? It took slightly longer to fully cook, about 22 minutes versus 20 for one cup in two cups of water. The cooked kernels were distinct and had a pleasant tooth - definitely not mushy. We decided that this rice would be best for "sopping-up" when topped with stews or red beans, or an ingredient in dishes like jambalaya. It isn't flavorful enough to stand on its own.
