Organic Wild Rice

About:

Good Eats Ogranic Wild Rice is gluten free. Wild rice is actually an aquatic grass seed often referred to as a pseudograin or false grain. But that doesn’t mean wild rice doesn’t measure up to a true grain like rice. In fact, wild rice boasts higher nutrition than regular rice, with more protein, minerals, and B vitamins per serving. 

How to Use:

Ingredients:

• 1 cup wild rice rinsed well - Not soaked*
• 3 cups of water * or vegetable, chicken or beef stock
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Cooking instructions:

1. Place wild rice, water (or stock), and salt in a saucepan with a lid over medium-high heat.
2. Put the lid on and bring it to a boil. Turn the heat down to low and let is simmer for 40-45 minutes. You will know that it is cooked when some of the kernels are burst open.
3. Drain excess liquid and serve.

NOTES:

• You can pop wild rice, like popcorn. Just heat it in a little oil and shake until it pops.
