Wild Rice is the grain of a reed-like aquatic plant (Zizania palustris), which is unrelated to rice. It is grown in the United States and also in Canada. The grains are long, slender and black, with a distinctive earthy, nutty flavor.

Wild rice is long, narrow and a dark shade of brown. Brown rice is much lighter in color and comes in three sizes: short-, medium-, and long-grain. The long-grain version is still only about half as long as wild rice, while short-grain varieties tend to be more round than elongated.

Our parboiling process drives vitamins and minerals into the kernel of the rice, resulting in a recapture of over 80% of the natural nutrients of the whole grain and allows for faster cook times. Mars Sr.

These two kinds of rice don't taste alike either: Paddy rice is chewier and fairly neutral-tasting; natural wild rice is tender with a delicate fragrance and distinctive taste. “Wild rice has a naturally nutty, smoky flavor,” Savage said.

Wild rice is not a true rice but a species of grass. Cooked wild rice has about 30 per cent fewer calories than brown rice as well as 40 per cent more protein.
