Indulging in the rich, nutty goodness of wild rice is a culinary adventure worth savoring. As a Wildly Organic ambassador, I recently had the pleasure of experimenting with some of their premium products to enhance my wild rice experience. In this post, I share a recipe that not only celebrates the inherent goodness of wild rice but also introduces a symphony of flavors and textures.

The Wonders of Wild Rice:

Wild rice stands out for its nutty flavor, heightened richness compared to white rice, and a nutritional profile that surpasses its counterparts. Its endosperm, germ, and bran intact classify it as a true whole grain, offering an abundance of fiber and nutrients. (i.e., this brown rice has more than twice the amount of fiber as that of white rice with 7 grams of fiber vs 3 grams of fiber).

To take the wild rice experience to the next level. I recommend adding a burst of color and texture for a Tasty & Nutritious experience. Think chopped fruits, veggies, nuts, and a sprinkle of herbed seasoning to elevate the dish.

Key Ingredients for the Recipe:

• Wildly Organic Wood Parched Wild Rice: The secret behind the fluffiness and enhanced taste of this wild rice lies in the wood parching process, which helps it retain more moisture.

• Wildly Organic Centrifuged Extracted Coconut Oil: Opt for this virgin, unrefined coconut oil to impart a mild, light flavor to your wild rice creation.

• Wildly Organic Dried Mango: This is a  naturally sweet with a toothsome chewy texture that’s anything but rubbery.

Wild rice meets a harmonious blend of colors and textures. Let every spoonful be a celebration of wholesome indulgence!

The best part is that you can customize it to your liking and make it more GERD-friendly; and add chicken or edamame to make it more satiating.
