Wild Rice
Actually a grass that grows in shallow lake waters. Wild rice is grown in northern Canadian lakes, primarily in the Prairies boreal forest. It is not planted, but harvested every fall. It is high in protein, low in fat and has an excellent earthy flavour. It can be eaten alone, or with other rice as a side dish or pilaf or bakery goods.
