Canadian Organic Wild Rice — naturally grown and wild harvested in Canada's pristine northern lakes.

A premium quality wild rice with a jumbo grain that is 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch or more in length.
Wild rice, an aquatic grass seed, is high in protein when compared to other white rices and grains.
Not genetically engineered.
Certified Kosher. See the North Bay Kosher List.

Harvesting Info: We ensure perfection in flavor, preservation of nutrition, and prevention of molding. We do not harvest early, as this results in a collection of immature, pale wild rice. We preserve the nutritious black outer hull. (Some processors remove the black hull to obtain a shorter cook time.) Also, we dry the rice properly, which prevents the moldy aroma sometimes found with other wild rice.

Organic wild rice certification: Certified organic by MCIA

Common wild rice uses: Makes a great side dish as well as a base for entrees and salads. Also often used as a major ingredient in soups, stews, and casseroles.

Packaging: Bagged selections are in resealable poly bags. Bulk box orders use sealed plastic bag inside sturdy cardboard box.

A popular gift item: Use our multiple-address and gifts-messaging features to send our organic Canadian wild rice to friends and family.

My new favorite breakfast

I received a bag of this rice in the sampler gift box. I didn't think I liked wild rice. How wrong I was! This wild rice is one of the most delicious things I've eaten in ages. It's very good with butter and salt on it. Sometimes I put a little black pepper, too. Another reviewer mentioned eating it for breakfast, and I followed that person's lead. What a fantastic way to start the morning :-) I've just ordered a 10lb bag and am torn between wanting to give samples to all of the people I love (so that they can try the deliciousness for themselves) and keeping all of this wonderful rice to myself, haha!

Excellent

This is the finest wild rice I've ever eaten. I have it every day for breakfast! Yes, that's right. Mild herbs with vegan butter and nutritional yeast. The high protein and complex carbohydrates sustain me for many hours. I usually purchase 50 pound bags and store it in a cool place so I can cook it all year round. My grandson who is six finds it very funny that I eat it every day for breakfast.

My husband has been getting this rice for years. I like it but he loves it. It adds an interesting texture to his various breakfast combos. He likes to mix it with beans and quinoa for a tasty and healthy breakfast. I prefer it on salads. Viva la difference!

This is the stuff !!!

Used to get wild rice when I was a kid at Christmas from our Midwest relatives. This is the best I ever had, buying in bulk makes it even better. Love it in soups, casseroles and salads, or just as a side with game birds or elk.
Buy this now, you won't regret it.

Canadian Wild Rice - What a surprise!

We have never eaten not relished the tast of wild rice, but have ordered many times from North Bay Traders, so we order a couple of the 5 lb bags. We followed cooking directions, but did rinse well, boil for ten minutes, emptied and stained, adding fresh water and continued cooking. Then added it to soup and loved it. Then tried it with just butter and salt, and loved the flavor and texture. It has great nutritional value and is has a long shelf life.

delicious, wonderful texture, versatile

This wild rice is absolutely the best we've ever had. The grains are long, with great texture. I've added miso to a wild rice salad and the umami is amazing. It was recommended to us by a friend who said "this is the only vendor you should ever buy wild rice from, it is absolutely the best". We buy the 5 pound bag so we always have a lot on hand.

Manna from Canada

Since the day I discovered your Organic Wild Rice, I have eaten it most mornings. My french Grandmother from Provence via Quebec prepared wild rice often in a plethora of dishes. We lived in Texas, where few people knew what wild rice is. Thank you Grandmere Jeanne. Anyway, Thank you all for providing this wonderful product for us in 2020.

Great Canadian Wild Rice as well as delivery!

My husband and I have been ordering the Canadian Wild rice from NorthBay Trading for a number of years! The rice is so long, so easy to cook with NorthBay's directions. And delivered so well! Our favorite ways to serve this rice are as a side dish, but also in a Wild rice soup, or casserole. We need this rice to make it through the Wild, windy, cold Montana winters!

My Favorite and only source for wild rice

When I need wild rice, I always get it from North Bay Trading. It is my only source for excellent wild rice, which I use both alone and in my own mixture with brown and white rice. Its quality is always superb. Think Canadian waterways.

Great!

We have been eating wild rice for years and have purchased from many companies. Yours is one that we now order from exclusively. The grains are long and cook well and the taste is excellent. We rarely cook "regular rice" but substitute the wild rice in all our recipes. It was a special treat to see your video of harvesting and processing the wild rice.

Love this Canadian Wild Rice!

As a Mn native who enjoys wild rice, I just love this Canadian rice. I ordered my homeland favorite and this well-reviewed Canadian version the first time ordering. I was surprised how very different the two types are. This one has a more gourmet grain essence - flavor and texture - than its Mn cousin. And I say that after enjoying Mn wild rice greatly at two different B&Bs in Mn and Wi in the past few years.

In the past I've found this rice freezes well. Unfortunately, I cooked a batch just perfectly and then froze for a couple weeks, and found it a bit soggy this time. I think the difference is that in the past I slightly undercooked before freezing. I will be testing out that theory. Or just making it fresh, because it's far too good to waste.

A Taste of the Wild

I’ve ordered this wild rice several times for my family and also given it as a gift to friends and family. It really is the best wild rice I’ve ever had. The grains are longer than any other’s that I’ve found which makes it look very unique on a plate. The taste and texture are really special. You can taste the wilderness in each bite. This goes great with salmon! We’ve cooked it in a pot and also in a rice cooker.

Best wild rice anywhere

We have ordered this wild rice from you several times. It is our favorite!!
My daughter actually had wonderful luck making it at Thanksgiving for our turkey dressing in an Instapot. It was perfect. She used 1:1 ratio 28 min high pressure with quick release.
We will be having wild rice with our Christmas meal of prime rib.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Yum!!

I live in Iowa. Quality wild rice is almost non-existent and what there is barely passes. The Canadian long rice mixed in with some sauteed mushrooms and small pheasant strips is delicious. Another way to cook game that's irresistible and even very healthy. (any meat protein works well too of course)

Just ordered another batch of wild rice - - both Canadian and Minnesotan. Past batches have been high quality in appearance and taste. A portion of this batch will be used as Christmas stocking stuffers for my adult children and as presents for neighbors. And, have ordered a box set of soup mixes for the first time, and expect it to be the same high quality as the rice.

Exceptional quality - again!!

In spite of weather challenges, the crop came in with the high quality I have come to enjoy. Even tho' Canadian Wild Rice grains are extra long they came intact, not broken, which speaks to the care in harvest,cleaning and packaging. I love adding it to a dish I cook using a beef hanging tender, Butcher's cut, along with brown rice and roasted corn kernels all seasoned with Montreal Steak Rub. Never any leftovers.

I just made another purchase of WILD RICE, this time in the 20lb bag! It is my first time buying this quantity, but I took advantage of your 10% OFF SALE. After being without the 'gourmet' Organic for SEVERAL months, I didn't want to be without it again! It's flavor and texture is definitely superior! I really enjoyed the video & I would enjoy hearing about the recipes they use it in. Also, possibly the health benefits. Just a thought. I believe people are still learning about this delicious & healthy product.

Go WILD..

Growing up in Minnesota wild rice was always on our holiday table. Relocated to Florida 30 yrs. ago, whenever, I would visit Minnesota I would bring back several lbs. After finding this product many yrs. back this is my to go to. 5 lb. bag goes a long way. It is considered a "super food" and used in our home in many applications. These long grains are the bomb..Thank you for this product

Great Wild Rice and Greater Family business

I received my order today. It's the 1st time I bought wild rice due to health issues. After much shopping in stores and online, I landed with North Bay Trading Co, a great, reliable company. Very fast shipping and they make sure that someone is home to sign. I appreciate that very much as we have thieves stealing packages. I cooked two cups in my automatic rice cooker following rice/water proportion on my rice cooker. It takes 80 minutes (in this cooker it takes 58 minutes to cook white rice) It comes out good, soft and chewy, just the way I want. I bought 50LB. When it's finished, I'll definitely order again and again and again!!! Thanks so very much!

For years my father ordered the family long grain wild rice from one of the fishing and hunting magazines. I continued that tradition when I had a family of my own.

I felt like I found my long lost friend...the organic Canadian long grain is awesome...a dream to cook with and even better to eat! I highly recommend this product!!!

Works for me!

Thanks for the info it was very helpful and my system worked for softening, I used a ceramic (large) cup and put about 1/2 cup of rice and 8 oz of water, for 3 min. in a microwave, let it cool and then left it in the fridge for a day or so, put 1 cup of Basmanti rice, a little olive oil, and 10 1/2 oz can of lo sodium chicken broth with the wild rice and water from the ceramic cup.

It works out perfect, and the smell in my kitchen was wonderful (sort of nutty).

Again thank you.

I eat allot of wild rice. I consider it one of Nature's most perfect and nutritious foods. I was given 5 lbs of this rice as a gift and am very pleased with the quality. It cooks up delicious and nutty, crunchy or soft depending on how long I cook it. Either way, its the best I've ever had. I'll most certainly be back for more.

Canadian wild and long-grain rice recipe

Here is a recipe we made using the Canadian wild rice. It makes about 10-12 servings. We make a batch, divide it into single servings, package it and freeze it. My guys grab one as a side for their lunches at work.
* 1 cup uncooked Canadian wild rice - cook in about 3 cups water until done, about 45 minutes (see instructions on package).
* 2 cups uncooked long grain brown rice (cook following your package instructions).
* About 1/2 cup each of preferred add-ins - sautéed chopped onion, sautéed chopped mushrooms, chopped dried cranberries, almond slivers or slices or walnuts, etc.
* 1/4 tsp fine sea salt, 1/4 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp dried parsley flakes
Mix cooked Canadian wild rice, brown rice, add-in ingredients and spices together in large bowl. Cool in refrigerator before packaging but don't let it sit out on counter top. When cooled, divide into desired serving sizes, package in baggies or vacuum-seal, then label and freeze.

I can't wait to taste the wild rice. I was introduced this rice by a Buddhist monk and it is so delicious. He cooks in the regular rice cooker with red bean. I never eats any rice that good and also heathy. I am an Asian, white rice is the popular rice, then I was looking for heather alternative, brown and red rice, none as come as good as your Canadian wild rice.
Looking forward to more orders from your company.

Living in California, we are force fed garbage paddy "wild" rice. I couldn't stand it anymore, and discovered this genuine wild rice from North Bay. Ordered 10 pounds in Dec, and am ordering another 10 pounds today. Great stuff, and well worth the $$.

Unparalleled Superiority

Every so often one comes across a product that is head and shoulders above everything else in it's class; your Canadian Organic Wild Rice is one such product. While it may be a touch more pricey than 'similar' wild rice products, there really is no comparison when it comes to quality, flavor, texture, and freshness. Thank you North Bay Trading Co. for offering this wonderful product.

Wonderful treat.

I am hooked on this. I should share it, but I don't. I lay down a bed of this wild rice under fresh grilled Salmon. Eat it slowly and thoroughly enjoy the wonderful textures and tastes.

Canadian Wild Rice

Have been a Wild Rice eater for 60 years but have never had a better tasting, textured Wild Rice. I'm sold on this. Actually I have washed it and ate it raw many times. A religious experience!

Wild Rice Duo

We have found out the Canadian Wild rice has more flavor than the Minnesota, but is harder on the jaws. For the past couple years I cook 1-1/2 cups of each, this gives us the great flavor we enjoy so much. This gives us rice for the freezer to save time. We put some in all our soups, when we re-heat spaghetti, you name it and we will try to add some of our favorite wild rice mixture.

I purchased a 20-pound box of Canadian Wild Rice, and am extremely pleased with the high quality of the rice. Very long grained rice, with excellent flavor. I add Shitake mushrooms and some dried cranberries. First-rate product.

Back for More

Once you try this rice you'll be back for more. Yes, it's expensive. But most folks only eat wild rice on special occasions and why serve your family and friends an inferior product? As a native Minnesotan, I have eaten w/r for decades. The organic long grain natural harvested Canadian rice sold by North Bay Trading is simply the best I have found, anywhere.

WOW!!

I am now a lifetime fan of this wild rice. It is more flavorful and substantial than the little, expensive jars that the supermarket sells. I have ordered some as gifts to relatives and friends, who are anxious to try it since hearing me rave about it. I love it hot, with butter, but have added it to soups, made a cold vinagrette salad with cashews, and created a hot lobster/mushroom/rice dish, and I look foreward to discovering new ways to enjoy this wild rice!!

Absolutely the Best

We have been ordering North Bay's Canadian Organic Wild Rice for years now. The quality and taste are always out of this world. The grains arrive whole and scrupulously clean. The rice gets an A+ for satisfaction - a sign that it is nutritionally dense. We pack it for long-term storage and rotate it through our emergency food supply, and the older rice is just as satisfying as the new - a sign that the nutritional values are maintained. Five stars all the way.

Absolutely wonderful, top-quality, delicious rice. Having never cooked wild rice, I overcooked the first time or two, but it was still good. Wild rice and mushroom soup is heavenly. North Bay is a delightful company to do business with, great service with a personal touch.

Great Stuff

Years ago we received wild rice from catalogue merchant Orvis and thought it the best ever. When they stopped offering it, we felt we had been spoiled for wild rice forever. Then we found North Bay and rediscovered Orvis' own secret source! The identical perfect and perfectly beautiful nutty trove! On our second 10-lb order now, and never less than a perfect meal. Five-star every time.

Fantastic Product

North Bay's Wild Rice is fantastic. I first tried it on a trip to Quetico and had to bring more home to my wife. She is hooked. As a vegetarian, she is always looking for wholesome grains and variety in her diet. This one is a winner at a great price.

Best wild rice I've ever had

This wild rice is both part of my emergency food supply and my regular pantry. My favorite way to use it is to add it into a an organic wild rice pilaf I already buy in bulk. It dramatically extends the pilaf, making it much more filling, satisfying, economical, while raising the quality of my meals. Recently I started adding a couple of scoops of the pilaf to my lunch salads, making them so much more filling and savory, especially with my creamy yogurt dressing. So good! Another favorite is to slice slivers of steak onto the pilaf, sprinkle with gorgonzola cheese, and drizzle with sherry or balsamic vinegar. It's a blessing to be able to eat food of this quality.

There IS a Difference!

I am making a concerted effort to purchase and prepare organic foods. Yes, there is a price difference -- and it is justified. The Canadian Organic Wild Rice is excellent -- as a recipe component or simply on its own. Texture and taste are far superior to varieties commonly available in retail outlets. A common remark made by people enjoying this wild rice for the first time is "I never knew wild rice tasted this good!".

Very Happy with the Canadian Organic Wild Rice. I cook up a large batch, freeze small portions, bring them out - thaw them and add them to our nightly salad. The rice adds flavor, texture and excellent nutrition. A very good unadulterated food. We feel very well served by The North Bay Trading Co. Good product; good people to do business with.

great with chicken

We prepare this wild rice with slivered Almonds, craisins, and mushrooms and bake (with chicken bullion) as the liquid, for an hour and a half, and serve with large chicken breasts (airline breasts). Also, a variation is to put
the chicken on top of the rice for the last 45 min to hr. Thanks for all your wonderful products!

excellent product

I just finished a 10 pound bag. I used to buy wild rice in northern Canada and was amazed by the quality of the rice from North Bay which is just as superior! I tried one previous internet site sometime ago and the wild rice was clearly inferior, small and dusty. The secret to a successful business is simple. Sell a superior product at a reasonable price. Well done!

fantastic wild rice

This is the best wild rice we have found in a very long time. Not only is the product superior, so is the service. One day after I ordered, I received an email with a Fedex tracking number, and received my order 5 or 6 days later. The last wild rice we ordered was not as good and a lot more expensive. We order 5 lbs. or more at least once a year and will definitely reorder from North Bay Trading.

The package instructions say that 1 1/2 cups of wild rice makes 4 generous servings (Ican't imagine the size of the servings). For us 1/2 cup rice makes at least 4 generous servings. Be careful to not overcook--I did and it was still wonderful.

Review by: Eli

Great

Let me first say that I know a lot about wild rice. I chided my wife soon after we were married when she came home from the supermarket one day with "cultivated" wild rice. I refuse to eat the stuff, it's like eating wood. I will only eat wild rice harvested from lakes. I haven't ordered the Canadian Organic off the internet but they do carry it at the local supermarket, albeit only in 1lb packages. I probably go through 3 lbs a month.

One of the other reviews stated that "not all wild rice is created equal", did you know that this is absolutely true? No two bodies of water produce the same strain of wild rice. In Minnesota, where I live, there are over 10,000 known strains of wild rice, each one particular to the body of water it comes from. Some have long narrow grains that only grow in 2 - 4 ft of water. Others may be the same size but only grow in 5 - 6 feet of water. Yet others are short and fat, darker or lighter, etc, etc, etc. You get the idea. This is why it's almost impossible to "cultivate" wild rice. You can't just throw a bunch of seed in a rice patty and expect to get the same product.

Since different strains have various sizes and shapes it stands to reason that they all have slight differences in taste and texture as well. Honestly, Canadian Organic has found a good one. Quite possibly the best I've ever tried.

Expect a bulk order from me very soon.

If you're someone just reading reviews looking for some wild rice to buy, take notice that nobody here has given this product less than 5 stars....

Flavorful organic wild rice special for cooking, gifts.

The Canadian organic wild rice is the best, with its long, perfect grains and its wonderful flavor. It's perfect for dishes such as stroganoff and rice and mushroom casseroles. One cannot find wild rice of this quality in the local grocery store, so a one-pound package makes a great hostess gift for friends who like to cook.

Better than the rest

First I would like to say I am new to wild rice. Because I am new I bought 2 lbs. from 3 different companies, You are one of them . I want you to know that your company put the other two to shame. First I was impressed with the packaging. The other two simply put the wild rice bags in a bubble envelope. Second was the presentation of your package(GREAT). Last was the wild rice it self. After seeing yours I feel the Other two companies ripped me off. One of the other companies wild rice was all over the inside of the bubble envelope because their package broke open. I will be buying from you only. Thanks for caring what the customer receives.

The Best I Have Ever Found

I am extremely particular about wild rice, as I am about all gourmet foods. I want real "wild" rice and have found it at North Bay. I was buying it directly from the Ojibway Indians, but your quality and flavor is unequaled! I cook a lot of game dishes and serve almost all of them with your Organic Canadian Wild Rice. Again, it is the best I have found in 30 years of searching.

Review by: Alice

ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm a wild rice addict. I grew up on wild rice, having my childhood in Minnesota. I'm 55 years old and I think I've had EVERY brand of wild rice to be found! I'm quite persnickety about my wild rice and have bought it in all manner of grocery stores, upscale markets, and Internet sources. This is IT. This is the BEST wild rice you'll find.

It has a great texture, a wonderful flavor - sometimes I cook it until it's almost soft, other times, I leave it just a little firm... almost crunchy. It's good with everything.

I always have some cooked and in the refrigerator ready to use/eat. I like to toss a handful in salad, soup, even mix it with penne. It's great with any protein - wilt some spinach, sprinkle this rice (cooked) on it, and top it with a nice piece of salmon. Yum!

We mix it with roasted vegetables, sprinkle it on mashed potatoes, and put it into our scrambled eggs. Pretty much anything that isn't dessert is better with this wild rice.

It is higher in protein and lower in simple carbohydrates than any other kind of rice - wild rice is the best nutrition in rice you'll ever find. And this wild rice - the organic Canadian is absolutely the BEST wild rice I've ever had.

You can mix it with other rice, but we find that we love this rice so much, it's all we want to eat! Also, it makes a SPLENDID gift - we make up little gift bags and North Bay Trading will give you little cards to include that give information about the rice and have cooking instructions. It's an exceptional gift - no matter whom you give it to, NO ONE will be giving them the same gift! It's a very unique gift that will be greatly appreciated.

We buy 20 pounds at a time. It keeps for a long time.
