FREGOLA RUSTICA MIX (X57C-487046)

This hearty blend combines creamy, crunchy quinoa, Fregola sarda and quick-cooking wild rice. With a range of shapes, textures and colors, it makes a gorgeous plate presentation. We source certified organic golden quinoa from the South American highlands where it was first cultivated for our Quinoa. Wild Rice is a highly prized, nutritious natural relative of white rice harvested from an aquatic grass that grows in isolated lakes and river beds around North America. We procure wildly grown, expertly harvested and parched rice for our Wild Rice. Grown in the Sardinian region of Italy, Fregola Sarda is a tiny, round pasta, similar to couscous, that has been lightly toasted with nutty flavor. The "sarda" refers to Sardinia, where it's been a staple for thousands of years. This obscure, delicious grain is often referred to as Sardinian couscous, but Fregola larger, coarser and rougher, making it a better vehicle for flavors and sauces.
