Our story

How we got our start?

Our parents always encouraged all-natural, made-from-scratch cooking. In 2003, we made our pumpkin seeds for a Halloween party. They were an instant hit! As our friends gobbled them down, we realized our passion for sharing healthy snacks with the people we love. In that moment, Gerbs was born!

Product Description

Gerbs Black Rice - Grown on Dedicated Monsanto Pesticide Free Farm & Food Allergy Free

DISTINCTIVE FLAVOR & TEXTURE. A staple food of American indigenous tribes, Canadian Premium Wild Rice comes from Canada’s pristine northern lakes and is harvested by hand in poled canoes. Non-GMO, naturally Gluten-Free, our Wild Rice is rich in carbohydrates, high in protein, the amino acid lysine and dietary fiber, but low in fat. Has a distinctive mild crunch, and an earthy flavor. Superb compliment to many foods.

COOKING INSTRUCTIONS – Always rinse rice and grains first! Add 3 cups of water to a large pot. Add some salt to taste. Bring water to a boil. Add 1 cup of rice. Simmer, covered for about 45 minutes or until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed. Let sit for 10-15 minutes before serving.

Our naturally Gluten-Free, non-GMO Canadian Black Wild Rice is high in protein, the amino acid lysine and dietary fiber, and low in fat. Nutritional analysis shows wild rice to be second only to oats in protein content per 100 calories. It is also a good source of minerals and B vitamins.

1. Rich in B Vitamins Among the B vitamins, niacin, pantothenic acid and folate are the most significant in wild rice as their amounts in the said serving fulfill 11% of your body’s daily need for these nutrients. All B vitamins play various important roles in metabolizing food and helping the body use the nutrients. Pantothenic acid for example is needed in the oxidation of fatty acids and carbohydrates while folate is necessary for normal cell division.

2. High in Manganese For minerals, the amount of manganese in one cup of wild rice satisfies 23% of your daily requirement. Only trace quantities of this mineral may be needed but it is still important. For one thing, manganese is part of an antioxidant compound your body creates called superoxide dismutase.

How to Properly Store Gerbs Wild Black Rice

STORAGE OF GERBS

We strongly recommend storing in an airtight (dark colored/opaque) container in a cool, dark environment like a pantry or kitchen cabinet, away from direct exposure to sunlight or excessive heat like an oven. The amount of times you open the container and let in the harmful effects of oxygen will only increase the likelihood of rancidity; thus we encourage you to not empty more than 1 pound of product at a time. YOU CAN FREEZE IT TOO!
