More information

Organic wild rice is a type of rice that, in addition to being wild in origin, is cultivated using environmentally friendly farming practices and without the use of pesticides or chemical fertilizers.

Although commonly referred to as "rice", it is actually not rice, but a seed from an aquatic plant of the genus Zizania, native to North America. This "rice" is distinguished by its long, thin, and dark grains, with a dark brown or black color, and its characteristic flavor, which is more intense with a slight nutty touch compared to traditional rice.
