Also Known As

Wild rice goes by many names around the world, including Canada rice, Indian rice, water oats, marsh rice, and its botanical name Zizania aquatica. Don't let the name "rice" fool you — it's technically a semi-aquatic grass seed, which is exactly why it stands apart nutritionally from regular white or brown rice.

Ingredients

100% pure, single-origin whole grain wild rice — nothing else. No additives, no preservatives, no artificial polishing agents. Just clean, natural, non-GMO grain harvested and packaged to lock in freshness, nutrients, and that signature nutty aroma you'll fall in love with.

Origin

Authentic wild rice is native to the Great Lakes region of North America, thriving in the shallow, mineral-rich waters of Minnesota, Wisconsin, and parts of Canada. Indigenous communities have harvested this grain for centuries, calling it "the good berry." We source our wild rice from trusted growers who follow traditional, sustainable harvesting practices — so every batch you receive carries that same heritage of quality and purity.

Taste and Aroma

Expect a rich, earthy and nutty flavor with subtle smoky undertones and a pleasantly chewy, slightly crunchy bite. The aroma is warm and toasty, almost like a cross between roasted nuts and fresh-cut grass — it fills your kitchen the moment it starts to simmer. This distinct taste profile is exactly why chefs and home cooks alike reach for wild rice when they want a dish that feels gourmet without extra effort.
