Wild rice - BIO

Although known as rice, organic wild rice is actually the seed of an aquatic plant native to North America. Its long, dark grain, along with a crunchy and firm texture, give it a unique character. Its intense flavor, with smoky and nutty notes, adds a rustic and elegant touch to any dish. 🌱Properties and benefits Wild rice is an exceptional source of protein, fiber, and antioxidants, making it an ideal food for those who lead an active lifestyle or seek balanced nutrition. It stands out for its lysine content, an essential amino acid uncommon in other cereals, as well as for its richness in minerals such as zinc, magnesium and phosphorus, and B vitamins (niacin, riboflavin and thiamine). As it is an organic product, it is pesticide-free, and its cultivation promotes wetland conservation and the protection of biodiversity. 🍽️How to prepare it It can be used alone or in combination with other types of rice. Its distinctive flavor makes it ideal for cold salads, soups, or as a gourmet accompaniment. To cook it, use 3 parts water for every part of rice, and cook for 45 to 50 minutes. 💡Ideas for enjoying it Warm wild rice salad with pear, walnuts, and spinach. Grilled zucchini with tahini sauce. Garnish for mushroom or white meat dishes.
