CELEBRATING 25 YEARS OF POSITIVE IMPACT
CELEBRATING 25 YEARS! THANK YOU FOR BEING PART OF OUR JOURNEY!
In 1995, Lotus Foods made its first sales of Bhutanese Red Rice and Forbidden Rice to Bay Area chefs. Over the past 25 years, the company has imported over 25 million pounds of certified organic rice from a multi-country network of family rice producers whose lives and communities have been transformed by access to markets and organic and Fair Trade premiums. Lotus Foods’ commitment to organic and regenerative practices is generating more rice from less land, preserving valuable genetic biodiversity, saving hundreds of millions of gallons of water annually, promoting long-term soil health, and removing greenhouse gasses from the atmosphere.
25 YEARS OF POSITIVE IMPACT
By supporting rice grown using organic, fair trade and More Crop Per Drop practices, Lotus Foods has had a significant positive impact cumulatively, enabling the company to:
- Save 4 billion gallons of fresh water – enough to give a half gallon of water to every person on the planet.
- Reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 35,000 tons of CO2e (carbon dioxide equivalents) – which is like taking 7,000 cars off the road for a year.
- Source over 25 million pounds of organic rice.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are these organic brown rice udon noodles shelf-stable enough for camping?
Yes. The dried 8-ounce pack is shelf-stable and lightweight, making it well suited to camping, backpacking, and emergency pantry storage.
Can I cook these noodles over a camp stove or open fire?
Yes. They only need boiling water and about 10 minutes of cook time, which works over a camp stove, jet boil, or pot over a fire.
Will the pack hold up during travel or in a backpack?
The dried noodle pack is lightweight and compact, though you should keep it sealed in a dry bag or container to prevent moisture and breakage on the trail.
Do these noodles work for a backyard or patio dinner?
Yes. Their quick 10-minute cook time and ability to be served hot or cold make them ideal for outdoor entertaining, from a quick stir-fry to a chilled noodle salad.
Can I use these noodles in a picnic cold salad?
Yes. Cook, rinse under cold water, and toss with a light dressing for a portable picnic noodle salad that holds up well at outdoor temperatures.
Is this a good noodle to keep in a camping pantry?
Yes. The lightweight, shelf-stable 8-ounce pack and simple boiling requirement make it a practical addition to a camping or RV pantry.
Will these noodles survive being packed in a cooler for a day trip?
Yes. Once cooked and cooled, they hold up well in an insulated cooler for several hours, especially when dressed lightly and packed with firm vegetables.
How does this compare to instant ramen for outdoor cooking?
It cooks in a similar time frame but offers a cleaner two-ingredient organic recipe, no MSG, and a more substantial noodle that works in stir-fry, soup, or cold dishes outdoors.
Is this better than wheat pasta for a backcountry meal?
For gluten-sensitive outdoor enthusiasts it is a necessary swap. For others, it is a lighter, organic alternative that is easy to pack and quick to prepare.
Will rain or humidity ruin these noodles in my pack?
The dried noodles are sensitive to moisture, so store them in a sealed bag or dry sack during outdoor trips to keep them from clumping or spoiling.
Can I use these noodles for a tailgate or potluck-style outdoor event?
Yes. Prepare the noodles ahead, keep them chilled, and toss with sauce and toppings on site for an easy crowd-pleasing dish.
Are these noodles durable enough to survive travel in a checked bag?
Yes. The dried noodles are sturdy, but you may want to place the pack inside a zip bag to prevent the dry noodles from breaking into small pieces during rough handling.
How do I cook LOTUS FOODS Organic Brown Udon Rice Noodles?
Bring a pot of water to a boil, add the noodles, and cook for about 10 minutes until tender but still firm. Drain, rinse briefly if using in a cold dish, and finish in broth, stir-fry, or sauce.
Can I serve these noodles hot and cold?
Yes. The same pack works for hot udon soup, stir-fry, and chilled soba-style salads, which is part of the dual hot-and-cold versatility that customers value.
Do I need to soak the noodles before cooking?
No soaking is required. Add the dried noodles directly to boiling water and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Are these noodles compatible with gluten-free and celiac diets?
Yes. They are naturally gluten-free and made only from organic brown rice flour and white rice flour, making them compatible with celiac and gluten-sensitive diets.
Do these noodles work with stir-fry sauces, curry, and broth?
Yes. Reviewers note that the noodles soak up sauces beautifully and work well with soy, lemon, green onions, curry sauces, and light broths.
What comes in the package when I order?
You receive one 8-ounce pack of organic brown rice udon noodles, ready to cook. The brown udon ships as a single 8-ounce pack, while the buckwheat and brown soba line ships as an 8-ounce pack of 2.
Are these noodles safe for people with wheat or gluten allergies?
Yes. They are made only from organic rice flour and contain no wheat, making them safe for people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, though you should always verify the current package label.
Will the noodles get soggy if I overcook them?
Like most rice noodles, they will soften and lose their bite if left boiling too long. Stick to the 10-minute package guideline and taste-test for the texture you prefer.
What is the difference between rice udon noodles and wheat udon noodles?
Traditional wheat udon is made from wheat flour, which gives it a chewy texture but contains gluten. Rice udon is made from rice flour, is naturally gluten-free, and has a lighter texture that many gluten-free buyers prefer.
