Elevate your holiday feast with wild rice: packed with fibre, vitamins, antioxidants, and a dash of festive magic. Wild rice, which is actually not a rice at all, but a member of the grass family, is your secret ingredient for a healthy, hearty holiday meal. We’ve added the zing of cranberries, the citrusy punch of orange, and the warm embrace of our Holiday Seasoning, featuring sage and rosemary. A flavourful, nutritious twist to make your celebration truly magical.
