SunGrow Medium Grain Rice 5kg $9.95 (Was $15) @ Woolworths

150

Edit: OK so I was misled by the packaging and thought it was Australian rice
But it's actually low quality rice grown in Vietnam
This isn't even a bargain.
I will stick with my $52/25kg bag of sunrise from my local Asian groceries
My apologies
DO NOT BUY.

Not shown in catalogue
Finally some rice under $20/10kg
Hopefully we will see under $16 soon and back to $11/kg asap :(
Not sure why but not every WW store stock this brand.

  • How do people here store large amounts of rice?

    Recently bought a large bag as we go through so much now, looking at ways to keep it stored safely.

    Sungrow Medium Grain Rice (Australian) 5kg $9.95 (Was $15) @ Woolworths

    Isn't it Product of Vietnam, as shown in Woolworths' webpage?

    EDIT:

    OK, I see the logo Proudly Australian Own on the package, if that's what you mean.

    • Thanks for pointing out

    Yeah, it's "Proudly Australian Owned". So not Australian.

    Also I heard, earlier in the year, that the Australian grown rice supply was due to run out by the end of the year and so it will all have to be imported soon.

  • I tried this one, sunrice is much better, the quality is really low

      Sungrow even sounds like a rip-off of Sunrice!

  • proudly Australian owned the company but is it grown in Australia?

    • It's like Bonds… Designed in Australia, made in CCP factory.

      • Cochlear implants will be Designed in Australia, made in China soon as well.

      • You mean your iPhone? Designed in California, made in CCP factory. Or any other electronic device you use right now?

        • Don't use iPhone. Use a made in Korea LG phone. Next.

    • No. Product of Vietnam.

  • Good Inverters. Meh Rice

  • Australian grown rice? There's somewhere in Australia that still has water for that?

  • This is a much better deal than woolworths. Long grain Basmati rice 5kg for $9.50

    Urgh, I've been waiting for Sunrice medium grain (Australian grown) to go on special for a very long time since my household goes through about 5 kg in 6 weeks. It's sad that Sunrice has an undersupply and has to get it from Vietnam.

    I ended up getting 10 kg Sunrice Australian grown from a local asian supermarket. They had both short grain rice and medium grain rice for $33 so I went for the short grain as I mostly cook Japanese dishes and it's usually more expensive. I combined with Amex shop small (spend $10 get 5) with two cards (they charge 50c for under $15 spend on cc) so paid $23 for 10 kg. I've struggled to find full price 10kg Sunrice medium grain ($24) at Woolies for the past few months.

    • I did see Sunrice medium grain 10kg pack in my local Woollie just yesterday. I didn't check if it is Australian grown though.

      • UPDATE:

        It is Australian grown.

      • It should be. I’ve tried my few local woolies and haven’t had luck for months :/
