"...the caviar of grains ..."
Wild Rice - the caviar of grains, prized for its appealing nutty flavour, and picked at the peak of maturity, Riese-Vertmont Canadian Lake Wild Rice is cured naturally, then roasted to give the best possible rich nutty flavour. It is a pleasing complement to a variety of meats, poultry fish or shell fish, and makes a unique addition soups, salads, casseroles, breads or desserts.
When cooked, the wild rice multiplies to four times its volume. It is prepared by adding 1 cup wild rice to 4 cups water and bringing to a gentle boil and simmering for 50 minutes. Often chefs mix cooked wild rice with other rices for excellent results.
Saskatchewan produces the world's finest wild rice. The long, cool summer days and natural growing environment produce a larger, tastier grain which matures slowly through the summer months, helped only by sun, soil and water. This resulting grain is high in nutrition - with high fibre content and low fat.
Riese-Vertmont Wild Rice group is the largest independent producer of lake harvested, certified organic wild rice grown in crystal clear lakes and streams of northern Canada's parkland. We combine marketing efforts with Saskatchewan Native producers to supply our superior quality wild rice to the world.
