100% All Natural NON-GMO Minnesota Wild Rice 5lbs

great mixed with "regular"rice. IMHO, recipe on bag requires too much water and too much cooking time; if mixed mixed with other rice and using the same cooking time and water requirement the grains come out nice and firm; if cooked according to directions the seeds burst and become pale gray and fluffy.very tasty and nutritious, no matter how you cook it.

I love all rice, but especially brown or wild best. I make up a big batch at a time so it's in the fridge to become "resistant carbs) to help fill me up without being too much on a lower carb diet. The price is better than locally too.

Great taste!

Unlike some Wild Rice products, this one was easy to cook, the directions were simple and very doable.And best of all, it was very tasty, especially with the added nuts and raisins that my husband added.

brings back memories! So good! Not quite as dark as some and with a slightly milder flavor that reminds me a little bit of the natural/wild grown rice. Often farm-grown is almost fully black and although the flavor is good, when it's a bit lighter like this one it is a bit "gentler" and easier to use in more recipes. Definitely nutritious I feel so alive!

Shipped fast. Packaged well. Looks good. Haven't tried it yet. Expensive but worth the cost due to its health benefits.

Delicious, authentic wild rice. Always good, always delicious. Highly recommended.
