About ENRICHED EXTRA LONG GRAIN RICE
Meijer Enriched Extra Long Grain Rice is a dry pantry rice product sold under the Meijer private-label brand from Meijer, Inc., the Grand Rapids, Michigan-based Midwest supercenter chain. This USDA FDC entry falls in the Rice category and represents one of several separate database submissions for what is effectively the same core Meijer enriched extra long grain white rice product in different retail package sizes or production batches.
Ingredients are limited to long grain rice with an applied enrichment coating containing ferric orthophosphate (iron), niacin, thiamine mononitrate, and folic acid. The extra long grain classification represents the largest grain size category in commercial US rice marketing, producing a distinctively long, slender grain that cooks to a fluffy texture with minimal clumping. The bran and germ removal in white rice processing yields a shelf-stable product but eliminates most of the naturally present fiber, vitamins, and essential fatty acids found in unprocessed whole grain brown rice.
Nutritionally, this product provides 356 calories per 100 grams dry with 77.78 grams carbohydrates, 6.67 grams protein, and zero fat and fiber. It is allergen-free, gluten-free, and vegan. The product has no added sugars, preservatives, or artificial ingredients beyond the required enrichment compounds. Multiple USDA FDC entries exist for Meijer enriched extra long grain rice across different database submission periods, all reflecting equivalent product formulations. The enrichment coating is fragile and water-soluble, and washing the rice before cooking is not recommended if optimal vitamin retention is a priority.
