Organic Red Coral Jasmine Rice
Country of Origin: Thailand
FAIR TRADE PRODUCT
Alter Eco Coral Rice (Khao Deng variety) is derived from an ancient red rice grain. This unique
rice is obtained by a natural technique using traditional millstones. The polished grains acquire a
beautiful coral colour and while the grains retain all the natural riches and minerals of whole
grain red rice, they are lighter and easier to digest.
Rice contains:
-
70% available protein (not complete protein unless combined with a legume, nuts or seeds)
-
Calcium, phosphorus, potasium, iron, B1 and B3 (much higher amounts in brown rice)
-
Naturally gluten free
According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, rice:
-
Has a neutral thermal nature
-
Strengthens spleen and pancreas
-
Soothes the stomach
-
Increases qi energy
-
Good grain to eat if people tend to allergies

Coop Overview - The Surin cooperative was created in 1997, but the current members have been
regrouping and working communally since 1993. Thanks to Fair Trade buying prices and a development
premium managed by the members themselves, the cooperative was able to invest in a facility for
de-husking, sorting and packaging the rice. In this way they are able to increase the percentage of
the final product price that goes to them. The members also avoid the added cost of multiple
transports during the various stages of transformation. The close collaboration between Alter Eco
and the Surin cooperative has led to the creation of three new cooperatives, currently in the
process of starting their activity.
