Nutrition that Counts
California Wild Rice is highly nutritious. In fact, thanks to the optimal
conditions under which it is grown, Mother Nature has blessed this unusual
grain with amazing qualities. Containing more than 12% protein uncooked,
wild rice is significantly richer in protein than common white rice
or most other grains. It is high in complex carbohydrates and is a good
source of fiber. In contract, its sodium content is refreshingly low
and one serving offers 10 percent of the U.S. RDA for iron. No wonder
it has created such a stir among today’s health-conscious consumers!
California Wild rice is an important component of a balanced diet.
