We source premium USA-grown long grain rice, processed to U.S. No. 2 or Better standards, for every order. Our team handles all logistics, making us the reliable partner for your global rice supply chain.
Sourcing: The USA Rice Advantage
F. Garcia sources all its long grain rice from the Southern Rice Belt, which produces the majority of rice in the United States. The “USA Grown” is a mark of safety and quality consistency our customers trust. We supply long grain rice that is polished to a bright, pearly white finish. As a result the grains are typically four to five times longer than their width, providing an elegant plate presentation that meets strict USDA standards.
- Grain Length and Shape: As the name suggests, our long grain rice features grains that are noticeably longer than they are wide. Specifically, the grains are about four to five times longer than their width, which imparts a slender and elongated appearance.
Trusted by National Foodservice Distributors

Grade factors and physical limits are F. Garcia’s offering specification. Milling degree designations — hard milled, well milled, reasonably well milled — follow the USDA U.S. Standards for Milled Rice, 7 CFR 868.306.
Our bulk long grain white rice is milled to U.S. No. 2 or Better with a 4% maximum broken-kernel rate — the visual purity associated with No. 1 brokens alongside the more flexible color and defect allowances of No. 2. Additionally, because it is hard milled and water-polished, the grains are bright white to creamy with a smooth finish, slender in shape, and stay separate after cooking.Grade factor limits are reproduced from the Official United States Standards for Rice, 7 CFR §868.310 (U.S. No. 2, long grain milled rice), USDA Agricultural Marketing Service. Broken kernel content is a procurement specification rather than a grade limit — USDA Commodity Requirements MR23–MR27 specify U.S. #2 or better at 7% maximum broken kernels. F. Garcia ships to 4.0% maximum broken, tighter than the USDA tender baseline for this grade.
Nutritional Benefits of Long Grain Rice
Rice offers several nutritional benefits, making it a staple in many diets around the world:
- Complex Carbohydrates: Primarily composed of complex carbohydrates, providing sustained energy release.
- Low in Fat: Naturally low in fat, supporting a balanced diet without added calories.
- Gluten-Free: Naturally gluten-free, suitable for celiac and gluten-sensitive diets.
Enrichment Status
Much of the white long grain rice milled in the United States is enriched with niacin, thiamin, iron and folic acid to replace nutrients lost during milling. F. Garcia’s Long Grain Milled Rice is not enriched — its ingredient statement is long grain hard milled white rice, 4% or less broken, with nothing added. Buyers who require fortified rice, including some institutional feeding and food-aid programs, should specify our enriched parboiled long grain rice instead.
- Source of Protein: Contains a modest amount of protein, contributing to overall dietary protein intake.
- Low in Sodium: Minimal natural sodium content, suitable for sodium-conscious formulations.
- Versatility: Mild flavor and adaptable texture pair with a wide range of vegetables, meats, and sauces.
- Digestibility: Easy to digest, well-suited for sensitive-stomach and institutional menus.

Data Notes & Verification
Values are stated per 100 g, raw. Source: USDA Nutrient Database 20444 (rice, white, long-grain, regular, raw, unenriched) — reference values for this rice class, not an analysis of an individual F. Garcia lot. Eleven of the thirteen values on the product’s own Nutrition Facts label agree with this record, including iron at 0.36 mg per 45 g (0.8 mg per 100 g). Calcium and potassium are omitted: USDA’s reference figures (28.0 mg and 115 mg per 100 g) are contradicted by the product’s own Nutrition Facts label, which declares both as not a significant source. We don’t publish a number our own label denies.
The thiamin, niacin and folate shown occur naturally in milled rice and are not added — this rice is not enriched. Enriched long grain rice (USDA 20044) carries 0.576 mg thiamin, 4.19 mg niacin and 387 mcg folate DFE per 100 g, against the 0.07 mg, 1.6 mg and 8.0 mcg shown here.
Commercial & Food Service Applications
Foodservice
Our wholesale long grain rice is grown and processed to meet the rigorous demands of high-volume food service operations. With its low starch content, the grains remain separate and fluffy even after prolonged holding on steam tables or buffet lines. This non-sticky texture is critical for food service operations. Consequently, this minimizes waste and ensures premium presentation for pilafs, stir-fries, and side dishes, making it the preferred choice for restaurant chains and institutional cafeterias.
Export
Furthermore, beyond domestic kitchens, our USA-grown rice is a critical export staple for Latin American and Caribbean markets. We understand that rice is the foundation of the daily diet in these regions, requiring consistent quality and specific texture profiles. Our logistics team specializes in shipping container loads of double-polished rice that meets the exacting standards of international distributors and retailers throughout the Americas.
