About Wild forest rice

Wild forest rice is a nutrient-rich grain harvested from aquatic grasses native to North America, with origins tied to Indigenous cuisines. Unlike traditional white or brown rice, it features a dark, slender grain with a chewy texture and earthy, nutty flavor. Packed with protein, fiber, and essential minerals like magnesium, zinc, and phosphorus, wild forest rice supports digestion, muscle function, and overall health. It’s naturally gluten-free, low in fat, and contains antioxidants that help combat oxidative stress. While it is slightly higher in calories and more expensive than common rice varieties, its nutritional benefits make it a favorite in wholesome dishes like grain bowls, soups, and salads. High in complex carbohydrates, it provides sustained energy, making it a great option for athletes or those with active lifestyles. Often used as a base in healthy meals, wild forest rice offers both versatility and a boost of plant-based nutrition.
