Description
Summary:The nutritional composition of Chinese wild rice [Zizania latifolia (Griseb) Turcz] from five lakes in China and North American wild rice (Zizania aquatica) from the United States of America and Canada was determined for comparison of nutritional value. The contents of moisture, protein, fat, ash and dietary fiber were similar (P>0.05), while iron, thiamin and vitamin E (tocopherol) contents of Chinese wild rice were higher than in North American wild rice samples (P
