No but Sams and Walmart are usually California or Texas rice.
I prefer Thai Jasmine rice for the flavor. The Asian markets usually have the crop year on the bag so you know you’re getting the freshest stuff.
I’m not even Asian but I’m a rice snob.
Rice snob.... ;-)
We don’t even eat rice, typically.
But....we DO have some nice stores of TX/CA rice, that I wouldn’t hesitate to cook up.

It’s amazing how many varieties of rice there are. I started storing some of my favorite ones in mylar bags with oxygen absorbers. I figure they should last just as long as the other white rice. Arborio and carnaroli really are my favorite, to make risotto. I think I stored some Jasmine also cuz it smells so good.
What kind of rice do you buy that ends up being sticky, like for Chinese food? I used to find a short grain rice at WinCo that was great, but since we moved I need a new source. But I’m not sure what name to look for.
