Directions

Wild rice is a high-fiber food source, rich in proteins, B vitamins and minerals. It has a very distinctive flavor. Although it may seem expensive, note that wild rice triples in volume when cooked; one pound can provide thirty servings or more.

Giant (long): This is the super deluxe grade of wild rice, with each grain about one inch long.

Extra-Fancy (medium): The most popular grade of wild rice; the grains of equal size and quality and they're clean and unbroken. Generally used for salads, side dishes and stuffing.

Select (short): It appearance is not a concern, this grade is perfect, since some grains may be broken or not of uniform length and size.

Ideal for use in baked goods or in soups and stuffing.

Miscellaneous Grades: There are several other grades, including some that are parboiled or otherwise precooked or processed, with cooking time thus reduced. There are also white and wild rice mixtures available on supermarket shelves. The three grades above are the ones recommended for flavor, purity and the best food value.
