Black Wild Rice
Black wild rice is a nutrient-dense aquatic grass seed native to North American lakes, traditionally harvested by Indigenous communities. Despite its name, this gluten-free grain alternative contains 30% more protein and double the fiber of brown rice, with notable anthocyanin antioxidants that give its kernels a deep purple-black hue. The long, slender grains require 45-60 minutes of cooking to achieve their characteristic chewy texture and earthy, slightly smoky flavor, making them a robust addition to stuffings, salads, and grain bowls.
