Du Bois Canadian Wild Rice - 1 lb

Canadian Lake Manomin Wild Rice, from Du Bois Wild Rice Ltd, is a unique North American grain, valued not only for its rich Canadian aboriginal history, but also for its outstanding nutritional value. Since 1915, this 4th generation family company has been growing certified organic rice, harvesting, processing and grading according to the Canadian Wild Rice grading standards.

Technically not a rice, but a wild grass, the black edible kernel of Canadian wild rice (zizania aquatica) is North America's original grain crop. True Canadian Wild Rice is different than most other so-called "wild" rice (often referred to as "paddy" rice), which is actually cultivated.

Canadian Wild Rice is a very nutritious grain, higher in protein and fiber than most other rices and is an excellent source of B vitamins. While more expensive than other rices, it's a good value, since it quadruples in volume when cooked.

Wild Rice has a pleasantly chewy texture and a rich, but mild nutty flavor. It's often served with game, pork or poultry. Wild Rice is frequently paired with nuts, wild mushrooms and dried fruit and is outstanding when used in soups or pilafs.
