PHOENIX, Sept. 13, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Boulder
Canyon Authentic Foods®, a leading better-for-you snack brand,
makes life easy for consumers ricing vegetables at home with the
introduction of a new line of grain-free rice made from just one
primary ingredient—100 percent real vegetables. These ready-to-eat,
100 percent vegetables are designed as a delicious,
low-carbohydrate alternative to traditional grain rice. Boulder
Canyon Riced Vegetables are pre-washed, pre-cut and ready to
heat with the ability to go from package to plate in just three
minutes! The delicious rice alternative appears at select grocery
and natural food stores nationwide this month with a suggested
retail price of $2.99 to $3.99 per
bag.
Boulder Canyon riced vegetables are grain-free and gluten-free,
and each portion counts as a full serving of vegetables according
to USDA guidelines. Perhaps the best feature is the fact that there
is no need to use a food processor or any other kitchen gadget in
preparation of these delicious rice dishes. Simply shake the bag to
distribute the contents, place the bag in the microwave and heat on
high for three to five minutes (depending on microwave wattage).
After letting the bag cool for one minute, simply cut the bag and
pour to serve.
"Vegetable ricing is a huge trend right now, whether it's
consumers on gluten-restricted diets or simply those looking to
reduce calorie and carb impact," said Steve
Sklar, senior vice president and general manager for Boulder
Canyon Authentic Foods. "We've introduced a convenient option for
these consumers, and we've taken it a step further to provide
seasoned and plain varieties so they have multiple options. It's a
delicious and healthy rice or pasta substitute, and it can be
easily added to any meal."
Boulder Canyon Riced Vegetables expand the world of
traditional riced cauliflower and broccoli with sweet potato and
carrot varieties as well as epicurean seasoned varieties including
Cilantro Lime Cauliflower, Thai Curry Carrot, Caramelized Onion
and Cheddar Cheese Broccoli. Additionally, plain
varieties of Sweet Potato, Carrot, Cauliflower and
Broccoli are available. The 10-ounce unseasoned bags contain
three, 3.3-ounce servings, whereas the nine-ounce seasoned bags
contain three, 3.0-ounce servings.
Boulder Canyon Riced Vegetables represent the first time the
leading better-for-you brand appears in the frozen section of the
grocery store. True to the Boulder brand, the riced vegetables
feature only real food ingredients and no cholesterol, no trans
fats and no MSG. Additionally, they are gluten-free, kosher and
vegan.
