Is rice protein powder a good source for protein?

Today while at a healthfood store a lady gave me a sample of some rice protein powder mixed in apple juice. It tasted good but seemed a little low on protein (15 grams per scoop). I was wondering if anyone else has heard about this? Is it as absorbable as whey? Any ideas?
