It's hand-harvested wild grass seeds, grows wild in lakes and ponds in
the Northern US and Canada.

IMHO it tastes better and has a really nice nutty texture. I doubt
you'd appreciate the difference.

Oops. Sent blank reply. I think I may have had some in the past. I do
remember getting some brown stuff but can't remember where I got it. I also
remember tossing out half of the packet because it just didn't have much
flavor. As for food textures, I am big into that.

Don't be too suprised if the taste of brown doesnt appeal. Some love
it (I like it for a variation) but some dislike it (Don and Charlotte).
It's specifically the nutty flavor they feel off putting in a rice.

The texture of brown didnt appeal to me that much but then I am so used
to medium grain sticky, that singlit grain types do not appeal to me.

Don't forget, wild rice is *not* rice. It's grass seed. I love it but
I don't want to eat it all the time. Definitely not enough to think
about buying a case of canned wild rice.

address brown rice.

Nonsense. We were talking about wild rice. I can't eat regular rice so I
now eat wild rice. What I bought was the black, cultivated and some here
told me that the brown *wild* rice is better tasting.

"I can't eat regular rice so I now eat wild rice."...hmmm, I was led to believe that rice is pretty innocuous when it comes to food intolerance's. Most people can digest it with no problems.

I have usually ordered my minnesota wild rice from http://www.wildrice.com they grow, harvest, package it and ship it direct to your door.

A case isn't all that much. 12 cans, I think. And it will keep for a while.

This is different. This isn't rice as you are thinking. Although
called rice it is a grass and is much different than traditional rice.

Yes. I am very familiar with it because as I said, I used to buy the
Sheltons brand chicken and wild rice soup. It was actually very good but it
didn't have much broth in it so to me, it was a stretch to call it soup. At
that point in time, it was one of the few gluten free and dairy free canned
soups I could buy. There are plenty more on the market now as there is a
big demand for them. Sadly, Sheltons quit making it.

I happen to like wild rice and once in a while if my husband is hungry
enough, he will eat a casserole made with it, provided that I add enough
meat and veggies so that he doesn't notice the wild rice. Otherwise, he
doesn't like it.

What you are refering to as tradional rice is also a grass, there are
many, many varieties, all grass.

I assume you are referring to brown wild rice?
