Technically an aquatic grass, wild rice isn't actually rice. Studies have shown that wild rice is an excellent source of antioxidants and consuming whole grains may even lower your risk of developing heart disease and diabetes!

Prevalent as a traditional food source and, the historical significance of wild rice in Native American culture makes Red Lake Nation Wild Cultivated Rice a staple for any Indigenous food pantry.

Use wild rice as a protein-packed, more nutritious alternative to other types of rice. The vibrant color, naturally nutty flavor, and firm texture of wild rice is sure to wow at your next dinner party!

Cooking Method

Cooking Wild Rice


Begin by rinsing 2 cups of rice well under cold water. After rice has been thoroughly rinsed add to a medium size stock pot with 8 cups of cold water. Bring water to a boil then cover and turn down to a simmer. Cook rice for 40 minutes then turn off heat and let rice bloom in hot water. Check every 5 minutes for doneness and desired texture. Note: This will not be similar to white or brown rice where all water is fully absorbed, if water has fully evaporated prior to 40 minute mark add additional cup of hot water to pot. Once rice has reached desired texture after giving time to bloom remove from heat and drain off any excess water. 

We prefer a light fluffy rice but with a bit of bite remaining for texture. Remember shorter time for tougher rice, longer cook time for softer chewy texture.

Glad I found Tocabe Indigenous Marketplace!

So glad I discovered Tocabe Indigenous Marketplace. I am enjoying unique foods I haven't been able to find elsewhere, like Tepary beans, with their unique flavor. The blue cornmeal is a must have, and the wild rice is an easy to make, versatile and flavorful change of pace. I am also happy to be voting with my dollars by supporting food sovereignty and TIM's values, while enjoying delicious and nutritious foods. Their customer service is fantastic, too.

Delicious, Chewy and Flavorful

I love this wild rice! It is easy to cook and has a great flavor. I like to make wild rice veggie burgers, add it to soup, and use it as a side dish or in a grain bowl. It feels good to be supporting indigenous business and eat healthy too.

Gale, thank you for your wonderful review! We love how versatile this wild rice is too and are thrilled you're enjoying it. Thank you so much for your support!
