Minnesota Cultivated Wild Rice

This is wild rice commercially-grown in a man-made paddy versus organically-grown wild rice naturally grown in a lake or river. The distinctive taste of Gourmet House® wild rice deliciously complements meats, seafood or poultry as a nutritious side dish. Wild rice lends added flavor and color to many recipes, including soups, salads, stuffings, casseroles, desserts and more!
