ORGANIC WILD RICE, grade A
SKU: G470-1
Hurry up! Sales Ends In
Botanical Name: Zizania palustris variety
Origin: Canada
Production: also known as Manoomin (harvesting berry), this annual native plant grows in shallow water in small lakes and slow-flowing streams and often only the flowering head of wild rice rises above the water. The grain is enjoyed by aquatic wildlife and was historically gathered and eaten in North America and China. Now it is a popular delicacy in North America but the grain is eaten less in China where the plant's stem is used as a vegetable.
Qualities: The nutritional quality of wild rice appears to equal or surpass that of other cereals as it has a high protein and carbohydrate content, and is very low in fat. Lysine and methionine comprise a higher percentage of the amino acids in the protein than in most other cereals and serves as an excellent source of the B vitamins: thiamine, riboflavin, and niacin.
Common use: Wild rice is a nutritional grain that serves as a substitute for potatoes or rice, and is used in a wide variety of foods such as dressings, casseroles, soups, salads, and desserts. In recent years, wild rice has been used in breakfast cereals, and mixes for pancakes, muffins, and cookies.
Storage: keeps well in a sealed container in a cool, dry, and dark location

Organic Wild Rice, grade A
This is good quality wild rice. The kernels are large and taste fresh when cooked. The package didn't have cooking instructions, but I have a guide for cooking wild rice, so that was no problem. The price is less than what I'd have to pay for quality wild rice locally. I will buy this again.

Wild rice is an exquisite treat love itThe observation I have from ordering from essential organic foods is that it takes longer for the products to be delivered
Expired product
You sent me expired product. I've contacted you about it with the proof of picture. Unlike other companies you requested the opened/used and expired product back, I hope you won't repackage and send to another customer!I'm still waiting for shipping label to fulfill your request because I've been told that I won't get replacement or refund otherwise. What a hassle!Very Poor customer service!!!
Great product!
I love that I was able to find wild rice in bulk, and that it's organic is even better! It's expensive, but one of my favorite grains, and it's cheaper in the long run than buying those tiny bags at the grocery. I use it as an 'accent' in my rice and mixed grains. I'm coming to love Essential Organics!
