Wild Rice  Certified Organic  1/4 pound  100% wild rice, imported from Canada for the purity and product quality. Rice grown in the United States has been found to be high in arsenic caused by commercial growing practices and pollution from manufacturing. To avoid this we have imported wild rice out of Canada to satisfy the requests from our health-minded customers.  Wild Rice is exceptional in health value. The flavor is nutty and satisfying.  It can be added with other rice as commonly found in the grocery store or as a single rice dish. Soaking Wild Rice will speed the cooking time which is longer than traditional brown rice for example. If you soak wild rice first, you can combine it with other types of rice for a medley and have all of them fully cooked together. The dilemma has been that wild rice is not fully cooked when brown rice is already done. By soaking the wild rice ahead of cooking, you solve this problem. Storing Rice–  store uncooked rice  in a glass jar, such as a mason jar.  Cooked and uncooked rice both freeze well. Yield–  expansion from cooking is 3-4 times the size of dry.  1/4 pound of wild rice provides a general serving of 4 portions Cooking—  Soak Wild Rice for 12 to 24 hours for faster cooking.  See Post 42 under the Wellness Tab for easy instructions.
