    Post The True Story of Wild Rice, North America's Most Misunderstood Grain

    The True Story of Wild Rice, North America's Most Misunderstood Grain - The Ojibwe people of northern Minnesota are sustained by the real wild rice, which they harvest by hand and dry over fire.
    Wild rice is one of the only grains native to North America, and definitely its most misunderstood. It is not directly related to Asian rice. What’s more, the black rice you see in countless Thanksgiving stuffing recipes every fall is an imposter. Here in northern Minnesota, at the center of the genetic reserve of wild-rice seedstock, where it grows naturally in lakes and creeks, we call that black stuff by its proper name: paddy rice. In the 1960s, the University of Minnesota began domesticating wild rice. They planted it in rows in flooded paddies, which they drained to harvest by combine like any other field crop. Ironically, paddy-grown rice isn’t wild at all.
