Product Description
Organic wild rice is grown in a sparsely populated glacial lake in northern Saskatchewan prairies, Canada. It is natural, organic and nutritious. Wild rice is a species of grass that produces edible seeds resembling rice. However, it tends to have a more pungent taste. The plant grows best in shallow water in small lakes and slow-flowing streams, ideally between 75-90 cm in depth. The seeds ripen in late summer, between mid-August and early September. Northern Saskatchewan is a land of forests and lakes, developed on the glacially-scoured ancient rocks of the Precambrian Shield. The pristine environment of shallow lakes and slow-moving rivers in northern Saskatchewan provides an ideal habitat for wild rice. Saskatchewan wild rice is grown and processed without the use of chemical additives, colourants, or artificial flavourings. The large kernels mature in their natural setting helped only by the sun/ Le riz sauvage biologique est cultivé dans un lac glaciaire peu peuplé du nord des prairies de la Saskatchewan, au Canada.

I’ve only had wild rice in traditional (Indigenous) dishes/stews before, so I was excited to get some to eat on its own. This is actually aquatic grass, not rice, but its appearance means it looks like rice! Wild rice is relatively easy to prepare but does take a little bit longer than other types of rice. It has a slight crunch and a nutty flavour, which, in my opinion, makes it perfect to add to stews and soups or eat with darker meats; however, it can also be added to salads and used as a side! It’s a very versatile ingredient and something all Canadians should try! The only downsides to this item are its plastic packaging (plastic is never truly “recycled” and ultimately ends up in landfill) and the price — which is likely so high because the item is organic. All in all, I am pleased with this product and definitely recommend if you’re feeling adventurous in the kitchen.

If you are from any of the northern states that grow REAL WILD RICE, this is what you are looking for. The grains are long and beautifully perfect, not the cheap broken grains that are for soup. This is fantastic!!!!

Great flavor, well packaged, arrived on time, fresh. Made a rice pilaf using this rice which was well liked by guests. Can’t find wild rice in stores anymore . Cooked up well.
