Nutritional values

This simple yet delicious dinner scores with a whole range of useful nutrients, especially protein and niacin. This vitamin, also known as B3, is important for fat and carbohydrate metabolism and contributes to energy production.

The black wild rice, actually the fruit of a sweet grass species, is rightly considered noble with its nutty taste. Remember: It takes a little longer to cook than normal rice so plan accordingly
