After breeding new varieties in a greenhouse, field trials begin. Here, progeny rows of Low Glycemic High Protein rice evaluated at the LSU AgCenter Rice Research Station.

Low Glycemic, High Protein white/milled rice developed by researchers at Louisiana State University. This new variety was released in 2017 and is now sold commercially as Parish Rice or Cahokia Rice. It cooks and tastes the same as regular long-grain rice, with the benefits of more protein and lower insulin spikes.
