What's amazing about haiga-mai is that the taste is very similar to white rice, making it suitable for Japanese cooking, but far surpasses white rice in nutrition in terms of fiber, vitamin E and B, niacin and calcium. \u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003eIngredients: rice\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003e4.4 pounds\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: rice in plastic bag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003eMade in Williams, CA\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Tamaki Rice","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31923950190671,"sku":"13-600-0001","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0212\/1922\/products\/haiga.jpg?v=1595635350","url":"https:\/\/umamimart.life\/products\/tamaki-haiga-rice","provider":"Umami Mart","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
