Health Benefits

Wild rice is a wonderfully balanced food source, providing a healthy mix of protein and fiber. What’s more, it's also relatively low in calories.

One micronutrient abundant in wild rice is Manganese. Manganese is an antioxidant, and plays a role in keeping the mitochondria in your cells healthy. Manganese has also been shown to play a role in maintaining a healthy metabolism.

Wild rice is a good choice for people with celiac disease, since it is gluten free.

Some other wild rice health benefits include:

• Heart Health

Research has shown that wild rice has powerful antioxidant and lipid-lowering properties. It’s also a rich source of dietary fiber. Getting sufficient dietary fiber is essential for keeping cholesterol low. 

• Diabetes

Wild rice is a good source of Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA). Some research has indicated that ALA is beneficial to people with type 2 diabetes. It may boost the body’s ability to produce insulin and reduce the symptoms of diabetic nerve damage.

• Weight Loss

Like most grains, wild rice is highly effective when it comes to reducing hunger. However, wild rice also has a fairly low calorie count, thanks in part to it being rich in fiber. This can make it a good option for people looking to lose weight.
