About CULTIVATED WILD RICE
Simply Balanced Cultivated Wild Rice is a pre-cooked packaged wild rice product from Target's Simply Balanced line, requiring only two components: water and wild rice. Despite the name containing both cultivated and wild rice, the ingredient list indicates only wild rice is present — cultivated wild rice refers to wild rice (Zizania species) grown in paddy fields rather than harvested from natural lakes, as opposed to the more prized hand-harvested lake wild rice.
Nutritionally, the cooked product provides approximately 167 calories per 100 grams, with 30.8 grams of carbohydrates, 5 grams of protein, 2.9 grams of fat, and 2.5 grams of dietary fiber. The fat content is slightly elevated compared to plain cooked rice, which is characteristic of wild rice's natural lipid profile. Wild rice is notably higher in protein and fiber than white or brown rice, making it a nutritionally superior whole grain choice.
Wild rice is a gluten-free whole grain and is suitable for those following gluten-free, vegan, and dairy-free diets. It contains no major allergens. The pre-cooked format in the Simply Balanced pouch eliminates the typically long 45-60 minute cooking time required for raw wild rice. Simply Balanced was Target's organic and natural private label, and this product may carry organic certification depending on the production run. Wild rice pairs well with roasted vegetables, mushrooms, poultry, and in grain salads, stuffing, and pilafs. The product's hearty, nutty flavor and chewy texture distinguish it from conventional white rice.
