• 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

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.
