Rapunzel Naturkost's organic natural wild rice offers a unique taste experience with its delicate, nutty aroma. This precious rice variety, botanically an aquatic grass, is harvested from boats in protected lakes in Canada, following ancient Native American traditions. The wild rice is not only organic and vegan, but also GMO-free, making it an ideal choice for a healthy diet.
Wild rice develops its full flavor when cooked. To prepare, first rinse the rice thoroughly under cold water. Then cook it in twice the amount of water for about 40 to 50 minutes, until the grains burst open and reach a tender texture. A tip: Add a pinch of salt and a dash of olive oil to intensify the flavor.
Wild rice is perfect as a side dish to vegetable dishes or as a base for creative salads. Combine it with fresh herbs, roasted nuts, and a squeeze of lemon juice for a refreshing salad. It also tastes great in soups or as a filling for peppers and zucchini. With the 8-pack, you'll always have enough to conjure up your favorite dishes while taking advantage of the bulk price. Store the rice in a cool, dry place to preserve its quality.
