What it is

Wild rice is not true rice but the seed of an aquatic grass native to North America. It grows in shallow lakes and slow-moving streams. The grains are harvested by hand from canoes and then processed to remove the outer hull.

Why it's used

Wild rice is used as a whole grain, adding a nutty flavor and chewy texture to dishes. It is often found in grain blends, pilafs, soups, and side dishes, where its distinct color and taste are valued.

Health notes

Wild rice is a source of fiber, protein, and minerals. The FDA considers it Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS). International bodies like JECFA have evaluated wild rice and its components. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from consuming wild rice at typical dietary levels.

Allergen info

Wild rice is not one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. It is also naturally gluten-free.
