FRENCH RED (CAMARGUE) RICE - Kosher/Gluten Free
FRENRED-10
Description:
French Red Rice is from Camargue, a southeastern region in France. Camargue Rice has been granted a Protected Geographic Indication by the European Community, recognizing its uniqueness and its connection to the region. This insures that this region will continue to produce high quality food ingredients. The natural salt content in the region’s soil makes growing most crops a challenge but because rice can handle higher levels of salinity it proves to be well suited to the area. “Le Riz Rouge” as the rice is called, is similar to brown rice with its longish grain and nutty flavor but its texture is firmer and less sticky. French Red Rice has a beautiful color reminiscent of the area it is grown in.
Ingredient Statement:
Brown Rice.
