Seggiano’s Wild Red Rice is cultivated by three long established Vercelli rice producing families in the most traditional ways. Straight from the Grange Vercelli rice lands of the fertile Po valley, whose waters are fed from the Alps of northern Italy, this wholegrain red rice is rich in fibre and prized for its colour, slightly sweet, nutty flavour and appetising aroma.
Thanks to the gentle dehusking of the rice, the nutrients of the outer layer and germ are retained; this method is critical to the final great taste and texture of the cooked rice. Once dehusked, the grains are graded according to colour, quality and size, with only the best being good enough for Seggiano, of course!
We love using this wild red rice in a veggie-filled salad, or to stuff brightly coloured peppers.
