Kozy Shack Rice Pudding

Rice pudding is a dish that is enjoyed by people all over the world, but it does not seem to be as popular in the United States as it is in other areas of the world. It is made with rice, milk/water, and a variety of other mix ins depending on the meal at which it is consumed (if it is for dessert then sugar/sweetener is added).

Rice Pudding can be traced back to grain pottages ( translated to something like "soup/stew") made in the Middle East. These grain pottages consisted of whatever types of foods were available including lentils, beans, grains, vegetables, and sometimes meat.

Rice pudding has traditionally been associated with good nutrition, easy digestion, and is often recommended for people with stomach illnesses. In fact, it was originally listed in medical books rather than cookbooks.

I decided to try Kozy Shack No Sugar Added Rice Pudding. It was sitting right next to the Tapioca Pudding... which I have bad childhood memories of.. my dad used to eat it and I thought it looked disgusting... and i think my dad told me (as a joke) that it had fish eggs in it! I now know that Tapioca is actually extracted from the root of a cassava plant.. not from fish eggs.

So I was a bit scared to try anything close to the Tapioca pudding but ... whats the worst that could happen right? I opened the container and dug my spoon in.. it was sooo good! It was rich and creamy.. sweet but not too sweet. YUMMMM

Each cup has 3 grams of fiber, 4 grams of protein, and 10% of your calcium. Yeah! This is one of my new favorite foods! The only problem is that it is slightly expensive.
