Trader Joe's Cooked Wild Rice

**kpdus** · 09-16-2004, 04:04 PM

Does anyone know why Trader Joe's wild rice (in small orange-ish bags) contains that much sugars - 12g per 75g serving? Is this the efefct of cooking? The only ingredients specified on the bag are wild rice and salt, so there is no added sugar.

Thanks.

Did you know that before you buy it?

No, I just assumed that since it's a wild rice, it must be good. Why?

No, just wild rice. According to http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/foodcomp/search it should contain < 1 g of sugars... I guess I'll try to ask someone at TJ.
