Bomba Paella Rice DOP 500 Gram Bag (1.1 Pound)

Bomba rice absorbs three times its volume in broth, yet the grains remain firm and delicious. Bomba rice is an ancient strain of rice that matures very slowly. Bomba rice is grown in the high mountains of Spain's Murcia province, where it is irrigated by pure, cold mountain waters. Bomba rice is grown free from pesticides and herbicides and is processed without the use of any chemicals. The result is a rice produces an exceptionally dehydrated grain when it is harvested, because it has taken such a long time to mature. This maturation process results in a very dry rice grain, enabling it to absorb far more of the flavorful broth and spices than other short grain rices.  It is precisely these properties that make this rice the best suited for paella and other traditional Spanish dishes.
