Plain rice. Not worth ordering from out of state. Use whatever brand your local supermarket carries, results will be the same.

I ordered it from out of state. The shipping was cheap it’s higher protein rice and if anything, just to get something from home makes me smile.

The jasmine rice is on point. It’s all I use now. Most of their rice comes from Rayne and Crowley. I’m from Acadia parish so I’m partial to it.

If you want something a little more niche, try Baker Farms out of Gueydan. Good people.

Rice is rice. It’s one ingredient: rice.

Not sure where you are living but I can get Supreme from any Rouses here in N.O.

However, I have been using both Jasmine and Basmati rice I get in bulk from Costco and really like both of those options. Matter of fact, I made 4 gallons of chicken/sausage/okra gumbo for an event and had Basmati rice and Cajun potato salad to go with it and it was a hit. Got a lot of positive feedback on the rice from those that ate.

But I do use Supreme long grain for my jambalaya.

This is a strange question to me. I live maybe 15 miles from their mill and personally know the guys on the picture on the back of the bag. They’re an incredible family and over a few beers or whiskeys can tell some of the greatest Cajun stories you’ll ever hear.

What’s funny is I also know the owner of the falcon/toro mill and they’re great people too. Both of them buy their rice from farmers all around here so I’m not aware of a reason one would be better than the other if we talking regular long grain.

Cajun Country rice is what I use, which is also a local, south Louisiana product. The Floyd Sonnier art work appeals to me, in addition to it being good rice.

Try putting 2 bay leaves per cup of rice when cooking. Game changer.

I dont know that I would buy it out of state rather than just wanting to support them for your home state.

That said, their rice is great and I'm am using it tonight.

We use Supreme or Toro. We have a cousin that uses/sells to the Supreme Mill and I'm distantly related to the Falcon/Toro/Cajun Country people. Though I'm sure half of the people with old roots in South LA can say the same.

So. Personal connection plus I find Toro superior for rice and gravy.
