She began working for Riceland Foods over 30 years ago and uses her wealth of knowledge to serve as the Director of ProductCompliance. Greta works cross-functionally across all departments to provide exceptional customer service around the world. She is the ultimate relationship builder and is passionate about understanding the diverse needs of rice enthusiasts.
“I think a lot of consumers don’t understand the process and complexity it takes to get rice from a field to their plate,” Greta explains. “So many people rinse their rice thinking there is dust or dirt in the bag but instead are washing away the vitamins and minerals added to enriched rice.” The journey of rice from field to plate involves intricate processes that often go unnoticed by the public. The cultivation of rice begins in the field, where farmers invest considerable time and effort in planting, nurturing and harvesting the crop. Following the harvest, rice is transported, dried, milled, and packaged before being sent to your favorite grocery stores. Enriching rice is a deliberate step taken to fortify rice and becomes a crucial source of essential vitamins and minerals. The intention is to ensure that the end product on consumers' plates not only meet their dietary needs, but also supports their well-being.
Greta’s enthusiasm stems from our 5,500 farmer members who also own the business, so every purchase goes back to supporting small family farms here in the US.Lindsey spends much of her spare time competing in cooking competitions and prefers cooking rice in a rice cooker.
