Rice is traditionally associated with being prepared from scratch, but the Path of Life rice blends are positioned as a new product range that will help to accelerate the cooking process. The rice products are crafted with all-natural ingredients and feature a frozen profile that can be prepared for consumption in mere minutes instead of requiring extended periods of time to be made.
The products come in three flavor options including Ancient Grains & Seed Blend, Cilantro Lime Rice Blend and the Saffron Rice Blend. Each of the Path of Life rice blends contain under 200 calories, zero trans fats, zero added sugars and between two and four grams of protein. The rices are also non-GMO, certified gluten-free and made with plant-based ingredients.
