Nutritional Benefits of Wild Rice, A "Wild" and Cultivated Grain Alternative

Wild rice is actually a species of marsh grass found growing naturally in shallow aquatic wetlands, lakes and slow moving streams. Referred to as manoomin which means "the good berry", wild harvested rice is an indigenous sacred food of the Native American Anishnaabe (Ojibwa) people of Minnesota and the Great Lakes region.

The texture and taste of wild rice is chewier with a distinctive roasted nutty flavor compared to other kinds of rice and can be a healthy gluten-free alternative to other grains. Unknown to most people, all wild rice is not necessary "wild", as the term might imply. True wild rice is harvested from naturally growing aquatic grass fields and the other is a cultivated paddy-grown variety, created from the same wild species Zizania palustris.
