Wild rice, though not related at all to the common rice we know and love, is the seed harvested from a type of aquatic grass. It is referred to as rice because it has a similar look and can be cooked and used similarly.
There are four species of wild rice, and three of them are native to North America. Wild rice has grown in popularity over the last few years, not least because of its nutrient profile. Wild rice tends to be lower in calories than white or brown rice, yet offers higher amounts of protein. It is also a good source of magnesium, phosphorous, zinc, copper, manganese, and fiber.
If you are looking to branch out from the regular rice in your pantry, try some of these OGP recipes that help you along the path of introducing some wild rice into your diet!
