I use it in all of my rice recipes. Review: Pearl-white, super clean, best all around rice - Short to medium grain rice, shorter than jasmine rice, not as fragrant; it sticks together better and is good for chopsticks, but not super sticky and doesn’t bleed starch like sushi rices. This is a great dinner rice, pairs well with a wide variety of foods and sauces. This is one of my favorite all around rices. This is factory packed in a plastic bag, sealed well with no leaks. The rice is pearl-white and clean, not at all dusty. Price is good for five pounds of rice; I was pleased to find this here on desertcart, my local supermarkets do not even carry Calrose rice. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00N9BWFVE | | Best Sellers Rank | 84,270 in Grocery ( See Top 100 in Grocery ) 166 in White Rice | | Brand | Botan | | Brand Name | Botan | | Coin Variety 1 | Calrose | | Container Type | Bag | | Country of Origin | USA | | Cuisine | Japanese cuisine | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 7,860 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00011152034706 | | Item Package Quantity | 1 | | Item Package Weight | 2.31 Kilograms | | Item Weight | 5 Pounds | | Item package quantity | 1 | | Item weight | 5 Pounds | | Model Number | HG0471433 | | Number of Pieces | 1 | | Package Size Name | 5 Pound | | Part Number | HG0471433 | | Serving Range | 10-15 | | Size | 15.4 cm x 8.4 cm x 26.9 cm | | UPC | 011152034706 | | Unit Count | 2266.8 gram | | Unit count | 2266.8 gram | | Variety | Calrose | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Botan - **Item package quantity:** 1 - **Item weight:** 5 Pounds - **Serving Range:** 10-15 - **Unit count:** 2266.8 gram ## Images ![Botan Musenmai Calrose Rice, 5 Pound - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81CX4DvIbzL.jpg) ![Botan Musenmai Calrose Rice, 5 Pound - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/715xIO5o2fL.jpg) ![Botan Musenmai Calrose Rice, 5 Pound - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/8168SjtO2CL.jpg) ![Botan Musenmai Calrose Rice, 5 Pound - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71swZgtObVL.jpg) ![Botan Musenmai Calrose Rice, 5 Pound - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71QaQfiXEiL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is this Botan rice NON-GMO?** A: All rice grown in the State of California is Non-GMO whether it is certified or not.
