About Wild Rice Organic

How to use
Always rinse wild rice thoroughly in cold water before cooking it and know that 1 cup uncooked wild rice yields 3 to 4 cups cooked wild rice.
Make wild rice just as you prepare white or brown rice, but it will require a longer cooking time. The grains triple in size, so one cup of dried wild rice will yield at least three cups cooked. Serve it as a side dish or alongside grilled chicken or salmon. Rice pilaf is another popular preparation that works well with a blend of wild and white rices.
Wild rice is a popular base for stuffings in lieu of bread, adding a pleasing chewy texture. You can also pop on the stove like popcorn for a flavorful snack or stir it into a soup.
