Organic wild rice is a grain grown naturally in freshwater marshlands and shallow lakes, most commonly in North America. Wild rice is not a domesticated rice cultivar, but rather a type of grass seed. It is not part of the traditional rice family. Organic wild rice is a popular choice for many different dishes due to its nutty flavor and crunchy texture. One of the main characteristics of organic wild rice is its natural cultivation method. Organic wild rice grows naturally without the use of fertilizers, pesticides, or genetic engineering.
