Red Rice


Red rice is gluten free and packed with fibre, vitamins... B vitamins... and minerals. It is a healthier choice and this colourful grain gives another option for a complex carbohydrate. It has a nutty earthy taste however when blended with a sauce it virtually goes undetected. It is definitely worth a try.  


The rice itself is a gorgeous auburn colour and the scent from the package is truly a unique one. Nutty... earthy... flowery. On the package it states that a portion from the sales of every Wild Tusker product will be donated to the Elephant Orphanage in Pinnawala, Sri Lanka.

I made a tangy Mexican chicken and red rice dish which was then placed into ancient grain with chia tortillas with all the trimmings; guacamole, sour cream, cheese, and veggies to make soft tortillas wraps, that were served with a side salad. They were so delicious! There was enough leftover to make a sort of Sloppy Joes on sourdough buns the next night for dinner. 

Hope everyone had a good weekend and is getting on with their week. - JD
