Rice Flour

White rice flour is often used as a healthier alternative to wheat flour because it is easier to digest and richer in fiber.

Ancient Grain Flour

We offer a vast array of ancient grain flours ranging from quinoa to amaranth. Ancient grains are an excellent source of vitamins, essential proteins, minerals and dietary fiber. 

Our Story

Western Foods was established by enticing a small nucleus of highly skilled talent specific to rice and rice flour from the local area, then constructing a state-of-the-art rice mill on Pioneer Avenue in Woodland, CA. With the food markets trending into gluten-free products it’s extremely important to offer security around the product itself. Very decisively the management team committed and conformed to all the necessary food safety requirements and the facility very quickly became certified Organic, non-GMO Project Verified (the butterfly seen on the front of the pack of many food products), Kosher, Halal to name but a few.

Latest Innovation

Pre-gelatinized rice flours bring moisture control where hydration is critical. By using these technologies to create new formats for these grains, we are lending their nutrition, texture and flavors to new applications like bars and snacks.

Sustainability

California rice fields provide habitat and nourishment for approximately seven million ducks and geese migrating along the Pacific Flyway each year. Ricelands are increasingly crucial to hundreds of thousands of shorebirds that nest in the fields year-round. For example, recent studies have shown that California ricelands currently provide more than half of the nutritional requirements of wintering waterfowl in the Sacramento Valley.
