Review by: Nick WispelweyFantastic ProductNorth 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.

Review by: flyegirlBest wild rice I've ever hadThis 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.

Review by: DavidThere 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!".

Review by: RLCOn my second 5lb bagI just happened to find North Bay Trading Co. during an internet search for wild rice. Thank you for providing me with the highest quality wild rice on the market. I'm hooked, been using it with every meal. As my cardiologist requested. As a side dish I love it with white truffle oil and a dash of chipoltle sauce. I'll call when I need more!! Thanks, Bob

Review by: StanSaladsVery 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.

Review by: Kengreat with chickenWe 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!

Review by: Georgeexcellent productI 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!

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.
