PREMIUM QUALITY LONG GRAIN RICE EXPORTED GLOBALLY
USA Grown Long Grain Rice – Premium Quality
As premier long grain rice suppliers, F. Garcia delivers consistent quality to food service and export clients worldwide. We source directly from the USA growers to ensure a premium product 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 growers in 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
F. Garcia supplies Sysco, US Foods, Cheney Brothers, Restaurant Depot, and other major food and ingredient manufacturers. Over 50 years of consistent delivery to national foodservice distributors, food manufacturers, and export buyers across the Caribbean
and Latin America.

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. To begin with, here’s a detailed look at its nutritional advantages:
- Complex Carbohydrates: White long grain rice is primarily composed of complex carbohydrates, which provide a steady and sustained release of energy. As a result, it serves as a valuable source of fuel for daily activities and overall energy needs.
- Low in Fat: Furthermore, it is naturally low in fat, which makes it a heart-healthy option. Thus, it contributes to a balanced diet without adding excessive fat or calories.
- Gluten-Free: Additionally, rice is naturally gluten-free, making it a suitable option for individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity. Consequently, it offers a safe and versatile alternative to gluten-containing grains.
Enriched with Essential Nutrients
In the United States, white long grain rice is often enriched with additional nutrients to compensate for those lost during milling.
Common fortifications include:
- Niacin (Vitamin B3): Supports metabolism, skin health, and the nervous system.
- Thiamin (Vitamin B1): Aids in energy production and proper nerve function.
- Iron: Essential for red blood cell formation and oxygen transport.
- Folic Acid: Important for DNA synthesis and cell division.
- Source of Protein: Although not a high-protein food, white long grain rice contains small amounts of protein, which can contribute to overall protein intake in the diet.
- Low in Sodium: Moreover, white long grain rice contains minimal sodium, making it a suitable option for those managing blood pressure and heart health.
- Versatility in Diet: In addition, its mild flavor and adaptable texture make white long grain rice easy to incorporate into various dishes, allowing it to complement a range of vegetables, meats, and sauces.
- Digestibility: Finally, it is generally easy to digest, which can be beneficial for individuals with digestive sensitivities or issues.

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.
