Review by: JuliaFlavorful 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.

Review by: RonBetter than the restFirst 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.

Review by: PamExcellent in soups, casserolesThis Canadian Organic Wild Rice is deliciously fresh by itself, but makes a nutty, chewy addition to soup and casseroles. I like it with broth, Mrs. Dash, fresh sage, and sour cream for a rich soup.

Review by: Cowboy CuisineThe Best I Have Ever FoundI 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: AliceABSOLUTELY 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.(Posted on

Review by: KarenThis rice has spoiled me.This is the most delicious wild I have ever eaten. The flavor is outstanding and grains are the longest I have ever found. I didn't realize quite how wonderful it is until I tasted other brands. It has been a favorite with my family for many years. Nothing else equals it, and It is well worth the price.

Review by: Mark ZimmermanAbthowootly Fabulouth Rithe! <G>Ordered the 5lb bag awhile back and finally decided we had to eat less of it as we were afraid we'd go through the whole bag too fast! Taste is fantastic and grain size is larger than I ever expected! We love it! Get some, treat yourself to a rare treat!

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.
