Grain and texture
Basmati is known for long, slender grains and a light texture. Short Grain Aromatic offers plump grains with a softer, gently cohesive character.

Smart Carbs for Modern Lifestyles
Understanding Low GI
Glycemic index, or GI, describes how a carbohydrate-containing food affects blood glucose under standardized test conditions. PRYD’s Fields of Vitality varieties are certified Low GI, with GI below 50.
GI is one part of understanding a meal. It does not remove the carbohydrate in rice or predict every person’s response. Serving size, preparation and the foods eaten alongside rice also matter.
What Makes the Varieties Different
Parboiling and structure
Soaking, steaming and drying before milling changes the starch structure of parboiled rice and contributes to its firm cooked texture.
Color in the bran
Emperor Black Rice retains its dark bran layer. Anthocyanin pigments contribute the purple-black color of the grain.
Fields of Vitality
Four varieties. More possibilities.
Premium Parboiled brings firm, separate grains. Basmati offers fragrance and a fluffy texture. Emperor Black adds nutty flavor and a chewy bite. Short Grain Aromatic brings softness and a delicate aroma.
Each variety offers its own way to enjoy rice, with certified Low GI (GI <50) and certified Non-GMO choices across the collection.
