It is pricey, about $15/lb, but would be nice for that special meal. I do love wild rice! Here is the response I got from the supplier in response to my question about temp of processing:

This is an Ojibwe company based in Minnesota, they gather the rice by hand, in a canoe yet. Sounds like the real deal to me.

Im a big fan of wild rice. The nutty hearty taste goes great with rustic dishes. I never knew you could eat it raw though. Learn somethin everyday.

One of the first raw dishes I made was a wild rice and mushroom casserole. It was from KristenRaw and it was divine. I was so disappointed to find out my rice was not raw!

T.O, to prepare it, you just soak it until it is soft. It will still retain some chewiness but I like that.

My daughter made a dish of wild rice and avocado stuffed in mushrooms. She said it was really tasty.

This looks neat. Could you post about it after you try it?

[revdrcyn]

YAY! I bought some the other day - can't wait to get it, much less EAT it!

Thanks again katchmoleen!

My favorite wild rice recipe is from Ani Phyo - here's a link to the video:

Any chance of scoring this recipe? I tried to google it, but to no avail :o

I do not think the parched rice would work. I see it is primarily grown in ponds and small lakes, and I have some of those around here which might work. I do not know if its important for the area to be especially cold in the winter.

I just clicked on the link and the page is no longer there.
Does anyone have any info about this company?
