Alter Eco Thai Rice

We’re always happy to find delicious shelf staples like this one - packaged whole foods that deliver convenience without compromising any steps from production to plate.

Alter Eco sources all of their products from small farm cooperatives in regions where farmers are working to protect traditional cultivation methods and maintain family-size growing operations. (They also provide some of the most delicious, sustainably produced chocolate, coffee and rice we’ve tasted.) This Thai rice comes in four varieties, from the familiar jasmine to the protein-rich ruby-red rice, which is not only tasty, but packed with all the body-alkalizing nutrient benefits of unprocessed whole grains. Served up with a little healthy protein and some steamed veggies or a salad, it makes an elegant meal. Available at your local natural grocery, a 16-ounce box costs about $4.
