Absolutely no flood irrigation was used to grow the rice; it is 100% Rainfed!

Until recently, all rice in Australia was grown in ‘flood’ irrigated paddies. Regular rice farming, according to the CSIRO, requires around 1550L of water to grow just 1kg of rice! With water being such a precious commodity in Australia today, this rice is not just packed full of goodness for us, but is great for our land too.
