RightRice® Veggie Rice Launches at Rōti Restaurants
RightRice is being added to the topping menu as a nutritious and delicious addition to any bowl, salad, or pita at Rōti's fast-casual Mediterranean restaurants beginning in November 2022. Headquartered in Planting Hope's hometown of Chicago, Rōti operates in five cities in the U.S. and 26 locations will be incorporating RightRice® onto their ongoing menus by name.

"We are pleased to be partnering with Rōti restaurants, known for healthy and delicious quick-service Mediterranean foods," said Ms. Stamberger. "Rōti has added a cold RightRice® salad for topping any item on their unique ‘Build Your Own' menu. Rōti's topping bar is filled with tasty additions that make every base meal more delicious - and nutritious!"

"We are excited to bring RightRice® into our restaurants at Rōti and offer a product we find to be unique in the market," said Justin Seamonds, CEO of Rōti. "With our special seasonings and Eastern Mediterranean flavors, RightRice® is a fantastic option for guests who want more protein and fiber without the carbs and still have a clean ingredient profile. Our customers are savvy, engaged food lovers and discovering RightRice® in our restaurants is something we think they'll love!"

About RightRice®
RightRice® is a vegetable-based, protein-rich, low carbohydrate alternative to white rice that's packed with fiber and complete plant-based protein. RightRice® is the first of its kind: a shelf-stable grain that's 90 percent vegetables (lentils, chickpeas, green peas), and delivers on taste, functionality, and nutrition. With more than 10g of complete protein and 6g of fiber per serving, RightRice® provides almost four times the protein and 40 percent fewer net carbohydrates than traditional white rice, plus it can be prepared in 10 minutes. RightRice® is available in both Original (unflavored) and in a range of pre-seasoned flavors, including Garlic & Herb, Spanish, and Cilantro Lime. RightRice® Risotto provides a protein-rich, easy-to-cook alternative to traditional Risotto. All RightRice® products are made using real herbs and spices, and are plant-based, non-GMO verified, gluten-free certified, and kosher certified. RightRice® products are currently sold in more than 8,500 doors in leading retailers across North America, including Whole Foods Market, Wegman's, Kroger, Sprouts, and Publix, and in Canada can be found at Walmart stores. RightRice® is ideal for foodservice applications, and is featured on restaurant menus, including CAVA locations nationwide.
