Glycemic Response to Wild Rice and Wild Rice Blends in Humans Study

Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to test the effects of wild rice and wild rice blends compared to other rice on glycemic control and evaluating factors that influence glycemic response to wild rice in healthy individuals. The main questions aim to answer:

1. Is there an effect of wild rice on blends on glycemic control and response?
2. Does cooking wild rice via stovetop or microwave change its glycemic response?
3. Is the wild rice blend product palatable?
4. What is the subjective appetite when consuming the treatment?

Participants will:

* consent to attend 5 study visits being 2.5 hours each
* come to each visit fasted for at least 10-12 hours.
* complete a Motivation to Eat VAS following each blood measure
