Some people who like wild rice may not be aware that there are 2 kinds. The
type you find in most markets is cultivated and as part of the processing is
heat-dried. The grains are almost black and it takes a long time to cook.
The other kind is hand-harvested from wild plants and is not heat dried. The
grains are brown, it takes about half the time to cook, and is VASTLY
superior in taste. Same plant, AFAIK, just different growing and processing.
If you like wild rice you owe it to yourself to try it. Expensive - about $6
a pound. Much of it is sold by Indian groups in Minnesota - a Google search
will turn up sources.
