It is high in complex carbohydrates and is a good source of fiber. In contrast, its sodium content is refreshingly low. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 12px;\"\u003e\r\n\tWild rice is easy to prepare; the longer it cooks, the softer and fluffier the grains become. Simmering in broth or wine gives wild rice a rich, full-bodied taste, and its flavor can be further enhanced by adding chopped vegetables, nuts or fruit. Uncooked wild rice will keep almost indefinitely, when stored in an airtight container. Cooked, it will keep for 10-14 days refrigerated, or can be frozen up to 6 months. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cul style=\"font-size: 12px;\"\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003e\r\n\t\t\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12px;\"\u003eNon-GMO\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003e\r\n\t\tReady to eat\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003e\r\n\t\tVery low sodium\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003e\r\n\t\tNo saturated fat\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003e\r\n\t\tNo cholesterol\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 12px;\"\u003e\r\n\t\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12px;\"\u003eRefrigerate After Opening.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Azure Standard","offers":[{"title":"8 oz","offer_id":45094727352354,"sku":"AZ-GR991","price":5.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"6 x 8 oz","offer_id":45094727385122,"sku":"AZ-GR990","price":25.73,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0554\/8684\/0866\/files\/3db848cf-8da5-40bd-b8e0-6cad562ef435.jpg?v=1775824799","url":"https:\/\/www.montavilla.coop\/products\/wild-rice-fully-cooked-pouch","provider":"Montavilla Food Co-op","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
