Wild rice
What it is
Wild rice is sold as a grain for side dishes and mixed-grain meals. The reference is plain cooked wild rice, not a boxed rice blend with seasoning.
What it does
Per 100 g cooked, it supplies 3.99 g of protein and 1.8 g of fiber, with 101 kcal of energy. Use the same cooked-weight basis when comparing it with another grain.
Research context and ingredient forms
A wild-rice blend may contain several grains, so its nutrient content depends on their proportions. The plain reference does not describe a product simply because wild rice appears in its name.
Using this information
Read the ingredient list on blends and include seasoning sodium from the label. For a homemade mixture, calculate each grain and other ingredient in the recipe.
