• Did you know that wild rice is not really a type of rice, nor a grain at all? It is actually the seed of a tall aquatic grass that thrives in freshwater lakes or rivers. Most of the crop is harvested in and around Minnesota and other Great Lakes states by Native American-owned companies. Cultivating wild rice on a larger scale has proven difficult, so its niche remains as a specialty gourmet grain.
• Wild rice dishes help dress up fall harvest meals; they are especially compatible with winter squash dishes.
• Combine brown rice with a small amount of wild rice when cooking for added texture and nutty flavor.
• Add a small amount of cooked wild rice to stuffings and other wintery casseroles.
