WILD RICE

Wild rice is different from other types of rice. This rice variety grows in shallow freshwater lakes, and streams. The grains are long and narrow, with a dark outer hull and a light-colored inner kernel. Wild rice is often used in traditional Indigenous cuisine and has also become popular as a health food due to its high nutritional value. It is a good source of protein, fiber, and a range of vitamins and minerals. Wild rice can be cooked like other types of rice and is often used in salads, soups, and side dishes.
