Straight from France French Red Rice, Great Alternative to Brown Rice and Italian Farro, Ideal in Salads & Alongside Grilled Meats 30 Oz

For lovers of good rice, this whole grain red rice from the Camargue wetlands in southern France is a must try. With its chewy texture and its nutty taste, this red rice is like no other. Naturally red colored, it will enhance the presentation of a number of dishes, especially when mixed with white rice and/or black rice. Red rice from Camargue is very rich in fiber and is known for its nutritional content and its organoleptic qualities. It is a great side dish and can be included in many recipes from rice salads to burritos to rice puddings. Straight from France red rice may also be used as a risotto rice, although “al dente” rices may be a better fit to some, rather than naturally chewy rices like red and brown rices. Because this Camargue rice is a whole grain rice, meaning the hull, or outer bran, is still intact and has not been removed, this red rice can be sprouted to make Gaba rice, which is more nutritious than regular rice and is known to be good for the nervous system and brain health. Although GABA rice (which stands for Gamma-aminobutyric acid) is usually sprouted brown rice, other whole grain rices can also be used. Sprouted rice is widely used in Japanese cuisine. To sprout the rice, simply soak it in room temperature water. Change the water every 8 to 12 hours and around the 2-day mark, tiny sprouts should start to emerge. This premium quality rice is imported straight from France.
