Review by: HeatherMy new favorite breakfastI 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!

Review by: Lynn ScannellExcellentThis 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.

Review by: GGood all the timeMy 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!

Review by: JohnThis 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.

Review by: SkytrooperCanadian 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.

Review by: heavenlydelicious, wonderful texture, versatileThis 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.

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.
- Click on our photo slides for more insight on this wild rice.
- 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.

Easy to Prepare
- Wash with cold water and then drain.
- Bring 1 part wild rice and 3 parts water to a boil.
- Then cover and strong simmer for about 45 minutes.
- Drain or let the water steam off for the last few minutes of cooking.
- Do not over cook. For the full flavor and chewy texture of this wild rice, stop cooking when the rice looks like an opened hot dog bun — not exploded like popcorn.
- Serve piping hot, perhaps with butter, salt, and pepper.
Freezes well. Cooked wild rice may be frozen and then reheated.
Yield — Canadian lake wild rice expands 3-4 times when cooked. Use 1.5 cups (about 1/3 pound) of uncooked rice to make 4 generous portions.
Storage — Best if used within 24 months of purchase. Store tightly sealed in a clean, dry place.
