Jasberry® Organic Superfood Rice wins sofi™ New Product Award in Beans, Grains, Rice & Mixes Division

New York, NY Jasberry Organic Superfood Rice has been named the 2023 sofi™ New Product Award Winner in Beans, Grains, Rice & Mixes category. The brand partners with Source Atlantique, Inc. to bring the World’s First Superfood Rice to the US Market.

Jasberry Organic Superfood Rice is a new variety of rice which has 40 times more antioxidants than brown rice and 7 times more than Kale. It’s aromatic, easy-to-cook and flavorful. It was recently launched in Whole Foods Market nationwide, and comes in both packaged Jasberry Organic Superfood Rice and the convenient Jasberry Organic Ready-To-Eat Superfood Rice (both Original and Coconut).

“We are truly honored that Jasberry has won the prestigious sofi™ awards” says Peetachai (Neil) Dejkraisak, the CEO and co-founder of Jasberry. “We are bringing something uniquely new to a commoditized category. For hundreds of years we didn’t see real innovation in the rice category. We have made it possible for consumers to have access to an affordable Superfood on a daily basis. We are working with over 2,500 farmers’ families, helping to take more than 12,500 lives out of poverty. We believe that big change starts with a tiny grain of rice and by winning the 2023 sofi™ New Product Award it will take us closer to a world where a simple healthy choice for you could be life-changing for rice farmers.”
