Rice, wild, raw

Wild rice is the edible seed of an aquatic grass, used as a cereal grain. The figures here describe raw, uncooked wild rice. It mainly provides carbohydrate, with protein and fibre also contributing to its nutritional content. Per 100g, it contains 76g of carbohydrate, 12g of protein and 4.3g of fibre, and provides 1461 kJ of energy.

Carbohydrate supplies energy, while protein supports the growth and repair of body tissues. Fibre helps maintain normal bowel function. Wild rice absorbs water during cooking, so the nutrient content per weight of cooked rice differs from these raw figures. Added salt, sauces or fats can also change its nutritional content. Full nutrient figures are provided in the tables below.
