INGREDIENTS
short-grain white rice, thiamine (thiamine mononitrate, niacin, iron (ferric orthophosphate), and folic acid (folate).
Pearl Rice is a variety of short-grain white rice. Identified by its small, stout shape and starchy texture. This makes it ideal for dishes where the grains need to stick together like sushi or rice pudding.
Our 2lb bag of Pearl Rice contains 20 servings (1/4 cup each)

PRO TIP: Always rinse rice prior to cooking. It removes the starch on the surface which leads to mushy/gummy rice once cooked. If you are cooking a creamier rice dish, rinsing isn’t as important.
Stovetop Instructions
For firmer rice: reduce water by 1/4 cup
Crockpot Instructions
Add a bit of water (around 1 tbsp at a time) and heat in the microwave or stovetop. If still dry, slowly add more water and heat on LOW.
Dried Out Rice
Reheat with a few tbsp of water or broth at a time. Add liquid to rice and stir. If the texture is still hard or crunchy when all the liquid has been absorbed, add up to ½ cup of water and return to a simmer with the lid on. Be patient and don’t raise the temperature on the stove.
Soggy Rice
Unfortunately, once the rice is saturated this can be hard to reverse. Incorporate rice into a creamier dish such as a risotto or dessert pudding.
The key is having the right amount of salt! (1/2 tsp of salt per 1 cup of rice.)
Fridge
Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
Freezer
Place in a freezer bag or freezer-safe dish for up to 1 month.

Customer Reviews
I got the red 40 blues.
I was sad to see that you add red 40 to your enchilada sauce. I have enjoyed it but will try to find an alternative as I am having health issues and trying to cut out unhealthy ingredients from my diet. Is it necessary?
Response from La Preferida
Hi Leslie, we completely understand the need for clean and safe ingredients! Luckily, we do have an Organic and Gluten-Free alternative to our Red Enchilada Sauce which you can find here. No artificial ingredients here 🙂 Hope this helps! https://shop.lapreferida.com/products/organic-red-enchilada-sauce-tetra-recart%C2%AE?_pos=2&_sid=ea3cb464f&_ss=r
The best rice on the market
I love this rice, but sad that the store near me that carried it has now closed. However, I will search for it simply because it is reliable and the best in taste. I’ve never been a fan of jasmine or basmati rice – they both have distinct aroma and taste that can fight with food at times. This rice is perfect for pretty much any use. It’s not pounded and beaten down like many bags of white rice are. The quality is consistent and the rice is extremely clean right from the bag (although I always wash rice regardless to eliminated some of the starch). I’ve been a fan for years and will continue to be, even if it takes a bit more effort to find now.

A delicious quick meail.
The best refried beans out there!
I have tried every brand of refried beans out there and the La Preferida authentic refried beans are by far the best ones on the market! I guess everyone in my town knows this as well, because it’s always hard to find it on the shelves. I ordered two cases, which arrived well packaged and not one dented can! And just in time, as I was down to my last can in the pantry! If this company ever stops making this, I don’t know what I’ll do!!
