Al-Hasawi Rice from Zaki Al-Salem Farm represents an authentic symbol of Saudi Arabia’s agricultural heritage and one of the most prized products from the Al-Ahsa oasis, located in the heart of the Eastern Province. This indigenous variety of rice is distinguished by its unique dark reddish to golden-brown color, rich texture, and deep nutty-caramel flavor that sets it apart from standard white rice varieties.

Cultivation relies on traditional irrigation methods using artesian wells, allowing the rice to grow naturally without pesticides or chemical additives. Al-Hasawi Rice is produced in limited quantities, as the specific soil and climatic conditions of the oasis yield exceptional quality but low productivity.

For this reason, it is considered a premium product, aimed at markets that value authenticity and local origin. The rice is rich in nutrients and natural fibers, making it ideal for traditional Al-Ahsa dishes as well as modern gourmet cuisine.

Through a combination of tradition, sustainability, and authentic terroir, Zaki Al-Salem Farm preserves the agricultural legacy of the Al-Ahsa region, presenting Al-Hasawi Rice as a true pride of Saudi agrarian heritage.
